Why Kalil and TD playing for other teams is a good thing. And actually should be celebrated.

TD was a bad fit for 3-4 and Kalil played(when he wasnt hurt) like a retired player the last couple years. 

Kalil is 34

TD is 37

Already waaaaaay past due in the new NFL. 32 use to be old, 30 is now NFL "old".

They both were great for us. But both of them are washed up at this point as a professional football player.

He has alluded to the fact that he was willing to stay here for less money but the team didn’t want him back under any terms. I don’t know what he would’ve settled for I’m just pointing out that there probably should’ve at least been a conversation with TD’s camp about being a backup here for less money but we just pushed him out.

We didn't push him out. We moved to a 3-4 where his skill set wasn't great. Better to let a player go to a team who can use him than stash him away on one who can't.

TD and Khalil got paid above their value. It was a good time for the Panthers to part ways. I am curious if Khalils $8m deal would net us a compensatory pick next year.

Who says he couldn’t fit as a backup in a 3-4 (whether inside or on the edge) and mainly as a veteran leader?

Khalil Mack?

How do some of ya'll still not know how to spell the man's last name?

Tell that to my phone. I typed Kalil but it corrected it to Khalil.  I had to change this one twice to get it correct.

Well yeah...point of the thread is how it's a good thing we aren't keeping dudes past when we should.

To be Fair though, DG was doing this crap but caught hell for it. 

Let Beason, Deangelo, Smitty, and Norman go. Beason's body was done, Deangelo got fat, Smitty had one more good year then tore his Achillies, and Norman isn't worth what the Skins are paying him. 

All good moves in the long term, but short term pissed a lot of fans off.

Well the phone learns oddball spellings from you. You gotta quit gabbing about Khalil Mack so much.

Delhomme got a five-year, $42.5 million extension, $20 million guaranteed after throwing 6 picks in a playoff game.

The rub with DG was how it was handled. It remains to be seen how Kalil and TD look in hindsight. Olsen was one we shouldn't have extended and did.

I'm just making a joke about phones.
