Okung would not be cheaper. I still fail to understand what people don't get, LTs get paid big money. This contract will average over 10 mill. That's what the market dictates. Glennon who hasent proven poo just got a contract averaging $14 mill a year, because that's what the market dictates for QBs another premium position. LT is a premium position and players get paid as such whether unproven, average or good. Kalil is probably average at this point, but young enough to still improve and like Oher just coming to a better situation may help. Especially with Ryan pushing him. The alternative could have been much worse.

Matt Kalil was great his rookie year, and then went on a downward spiral of injuries and inconsistent play until he went on IR last year.  Prior to going on IR, the coaching staff felt like he had turned the corner and had just had his best off-season.  What may have changed to get him back on track?

Longtime Panther fans may know... From 2011-2015, this man was the Offensive Line coach in MN.

He was fired after 2015, AKA another year of a dumpster fire along the Offensive Line.

I don't know about you, but I feel much better about our chances of coaching Kalil up than I did before I knew that.

Curious if they end up cutting Oher, or if they still plan on moving him to RT. Regardless of how Kalil has looked and held up the last few years, I'm sure Gettleman saw something that he felt good about..doubt he would just sign him because he's Ryan's brother..we really were desperate tho

I'm pretty sure coaches had a lot of input in this.

For all u Okung fans.......

FYI he sucked ass last year as well. 

EXACTLY and there was NO GUARANTEE he would even consider signing here.  We could sign anyone and the retards on this board would get their panties wadded.

Hopefully they move him to the right side. Our line will be much improved if that's the case.
