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.

      Nic Scourton- PFF Highest Rated Rookie (Week 5)

      By Icege · Posted

      I wish I could gaslight myself into believing the same, but Eric Eager wasn't even mentioned until two posts before mine here on page five after the initial pivot to complain about Bryce on page one. Considering the views some of those involved have shared regarding PFF + Dan's involvement on Fitterer's team and... well... Regardless of all of that, Nic Scourton looked really good against the Dolphins. He was setting the edge well and even looked decent in coverage when required to drop back. He was destroying the right side of the Dolphins' OL and even got the best of the LT on several occasions. Seeing what Nic's doing on the field is likely what Evero was hoping DJJ could develop into when they took him. The team also isn't using him as much on special teams (hasn't logged a punt team snap since week 2 but is still part of the FG blocking unit). Completely different players and playstyles, but Scourton's motor and ability to remain constant while opposing OL start to gas out in the late game reminds me a lot of Charles Johnson.

      Shaq Thompson’s house

      I say he's a run of the mill starter. You say he has had a decent career. We're saying the same thing. I never had any issues with Shaq. My issues were with the Panthers in that one, we drafted a player in the 1st round at a position of our greatest strength when there were options available that would've provided us with more initial help. You make a move like that because you think a guy is special, that he's by far and away the best talent available. Two, after he had proven to be good but not great (basically a run of the mill starter) on the field, we turn around and pay him like he's a future HOFer. These aren't issues with Shaq. They're issues with the organization.

      😆If you're not elite or a potential HOFER, then LG calls you "run-of-the-mill" or "meh." Shaq has had a decent career---better than many longtime starters, but not everyone is built to be worthy of the Hall Of Fame.
