Did you know Matt Kalil will still be counting against our cap NEXT season?

Even though he last played a game for us in December 2017, we won't be fully free from him until March 2021. His dead money will account for almost 5% of our cap *next* season.

Other than Sean Gilbert, probably our worst contract decision ever.

   it’s posted damn near daily. At this point, who doesn’t know. It’s been discussed since the day he signed that ridiculous thing.

I don't think this was our worst contract ever, I'm not saying it's not, but I think some others were worse.

 

  It’s the worst I’ve ever seen. At least other players that got FA Bust contracts usually did something to deserve it. Kalil was a bottom 5 LT, if he was even healthy enough to play. What convinced anyone that he would suddenly get better?

You and I have gone around about this contract, but didn't it really come out to 2 years for 25M at the end of the day?

I mean, it's bad....real bad as the guy couldn't play football, but when I think of the worst contracts, I think of Anderson, Beason, DWill, etc...

Beason and DWill were good players, but those deals were terribly constructed, IIRC?

 Beacon is a very comparable deal. But even he can blame injury and earned it that amount with high level Of play. Kalil quit after one year. One! And forced us to put an injured DW out there.
 

  And Anderson and Williams also played well before their deals that were much cheaper. And still played years after. 
 

  25M for one year of awful LT play. Find me anything that matches that.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
