For those of you with dreams of the Kalil Brothers on the same team, it's not as far-fetched as some think.

According to Voth and his sources with knowledge on the matter, Panthers are interested in seeking out Matt Kalil in Free Agency.

"We're in the unknown and we're going to move forward. We've got a plan and we'll just see where it goes. I can't give you anything more than that."

That plan, according to sources, includes interest in left tackle Matt Kalil, who's set to become a free agent on March 9.

The younger brother of Panthers center Ryan Kalil, Matt Kalil has been a disappointment after the Vikings took him with the fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft. But the Panthers believe Kalil can be more than serviceable with a change of scenery.

Don't be surprised to see Matt Kalil as another addition to our o-line. At worst he's a good backup with potential to become a starter there.

Although Kalil still has a ways to go to getting back to his amazing rookie season form, it's not too far-fetched to believe Gettleman can't do it again. He has potential to come and solidify the LT spot with our interior being one of the best, and help us out.

Another Oher-like possibility that does make a lot of sense.

EDIT: Since there are those who believe this was news that had broke grounds earlier; yes, Voth has mentioned multiple times in the past on the possibility of Matt Kalil. However, this article was the first that really said the Panthers themselves had the interest and that Voth got the info from sources.

Sorry for the confusion.

This isn't exactly breaking news

Actually, it kind of is. This shows the Panthers are actually interested in Mat Kalil like we are. The only things floating around lately have been "what if Matt Kalil were on the team?" 

Voth basically certified the Panthers have actual interest in that possibility. Pretty cool stuff.

Voth has been saying this for a couple weeks now.

Voth doesn't often tweet stuff like this. When he does, it means something 

Well, appears he made that in an opinion-like sentence. The part I quoted stated Voth had heard from sources on the matter.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
