Unresolved issue for the #Panthers: The status of LT Matt Kalil, whose $7M salary become fully guaranteed tomorrow. My understanding is no decision is coming soon, because Kalil’s salary is guaranteed for injury already – he’s still rehabbing his knee. No rush for a resolution

FFS!

Son of a b-tch!

With Daryl William's knee being a question mark we might wanna hang onto Matt.

If that is the case then we just might as well let Cam get massacred with Matt not doing his job protecting him.

What I've been saying for the past 24 hours, keeping him on the roster for now is the smart play.

MATT KALILT, CAROLINA PANTHERS

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Panthers are in "no rush" to make a decision on LT Matt Kalil's roster status.

Dave Gettleman's disastrous 2017 free agent signing's $7 million salary becomes "guaranteed" on Friday but for injury only. In other words, the Panthers can still cut him once he passes a physical. Kalil was one of the league's very worst left tackles in 2017 before missing all of 2018 with a mysterious knee issue. With Taylor Moton and Daryl Williams ready to man tackle, Kalil will likely be sent packing.

Fwiw I think we are cutting matt but this loophole buys us time in the event we aren't able to land a quality tackle in the draft

It’s the “but for injury only” is the part I don’t get.  

So what is the cap hit if we keep him.  And cut him after training camp? Need @stbugs to weigh in on this one.

Seems he is playing the injury part to get all the money guaranteed.

Current cap

 

 

Cut him now, no designation

 

 

 

Cut post June 1st designation

 

 

 

 

 

Cut post June 1^st 2020

 

 

 

 

that doesnt count William's contract, counting it the team has 6m in cap space and rookies will cost 5m of that space.

obviously... but it illustrates the numerical differences in cutting Matt Kalil at different points, as I intended.

Rookie pool could likely be around $9M IIRC, so right now we're actually in the red.

We've still got some guys like Kalil, Smith, Searcy, Cockrell, etc. that I am not sure how they pan out. But, we can make the money happen when we need to.

We still have several people we can extend/restructure as well.

Correction: The amount of base guarantee for Matt Kalil is $1M, not $7M (I read the wrong column ). A much more palatable decision.

3PM tomorrow is the deadline, right?
