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.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
