Matt Kalil?

[WarPanthers89]

This is why I made this thread. I know Kalil is terrible but I figured he could at least be depth this season which is why it is shocking that he has been out all year and then we stopped getting updates after it looked like he was close to returning. If Clark can’t go we are in trouble being that we have zero depth.

Matt is done as a Panther

Fat fk needs to come to an amicable injury settlement and let us off the hook on the cap...if you have a shred of decency and character...

I went to the Over the Cap website to get some information about Matt's current deal (https://overthecap.com/player/matt-kalil/1793/)

I willingly admit to not fully understanding all of the nuances of NFL contracts. IF I interpreted the below tables correctly it appears that the team will still owe him 14.7 million of his contracted guaranteed amount after the 2018 season. If he's designated as a pre-June 1 cut the Panthers won't have any significant cap savings and Matt will count $14.7 million per season in dead money for 2019.

Current Contract (Pre June 1 2019 cut)

2019	30	$7,000,000	$4,900,000	$750,000	$250,000	$0	$12,900,000	6.8%		$14,700,000	($1,800,000)
2020	31	$10,000,000	$4,900,000	$750,000	$250,000	$0	$15,900,000	8.0%		$9,800,000	$6,100,000
2021	32	$10,500,000	$4,900,000	$750,000	$250,000	$0	$16,400,000	--		$4,900,000	$11,500,000

If he's designated a Post-June 1 cut the team saves $8.0 million in cap space for 2019  and the $14.7 million still owed can be divided 4.9 per year in dead money for 2019-2021. 

This seems to be the most reasonable scenario for the team if Matt doesn't retire at the end of the season (which could happen based on his injury history).

Clark doesn’t help his team; Kalil hurts it.

Clark is slow and not smart.  However, the only real difference between him and RKalil is $10m or more in salary cap.  $10m buys 2 other decent players.

[MHS831]

Ryan and Matt will leave the NFL at the same time.  This winter.

It's crazy (and sad) how many terrible left tackles Newton has played with since Gross...

Remmers (LMAO)

Bell (LMAO)

Clark (LOL esp since the Steelers game)

Kalil (LOL)

Michael Oher is the best one he's had and he was average on his best day.

Don’t forget the French Canadian guy and Nate Chandler

He's not playing so that he stays healthy so that we can cut in the off-season. If he blew out his knee or something like that and was injured due to football reasons we couldn't cut him. We'd have to try to work out an injury settlement.

Would that this would be true

No way he "stops" playing when he can make that either by being cut, or being out performed next year. He is basically guaranteed that money. If he retires the Panthers can try and get signing bonus money back and not pay him that amount. 

Like it or not, either we eat the money and cut him, he is on the team next year, or he agrees to a injury settlement

[Manther]

The guy is a lying, conniving, low performing thief.  He's laughing at us all the way to bank.  Ryan should be ashamed of Matt and the role he played in bringing the thief here.

Man who understands y'all. 

 

"Bench Kalil he's terrible!"

 

He gets benched. 

 

Clark starts and does well. Clark has a bad game. 

 

"Bring back Matt Kalil!!" 

 

Jesus.
