Kalil's value has been set

[Murph]

5 years 50 million for Mangold. Damn. Jordan Gross' contract is only one and half years old and it was 6 years/60 million. Is the current value of a center only one and half years behind a LT? Obviously not but the market has been set. I fear Ryan will be gone next March.

i don't know much about how the cap works and what nots... but why wouldn't they keep him? i know its a lot of money, but on the other hand great centers dont end up on the pathers every day! who would we be loosing at loosing if we kept him?

[Dpantherman]

I don't see it happening. Starting Center is way up there in importance. He'll be retained. don't argue with me on this one!!!

Kalil is the type of player the Panthers keep. Done and DONE.

Kalil is the most valuable FA we have next season. We're going to have a buttload of cap room so it won't be a problem.

Will we? about how much? do you think this will be the year we are active in the FA?

Its possible he walks if he is not re-signed

No way we tag him and pay LT money.

no way he will demand a contract like mangold did either.

[rayzor]

little chance he'll be leaving next year.

panthers won't let him go. he's far too valuable to not pay. i have no worries about them retaining him. probably the safest to get a deal, imo.

Agreed, I think he's the most likely to be resigned.

[CLTPanther]

I doubt anyone will get a new contract until a new CBA is in place.

of course not.Kalil is not the best Center in the league.

but JR not re-signing anyone untill this CBA is in order could backfire with some good players walking. I hope it does not happen but its very possible it does

[Lout]

Kalil is one of the best center's in the league. He will get paid like it.. but I think he gets paid just under what Mangold got. Kalil will be re-signed with us. No doubt. Thomas Davis was a top priority but I don't think he will be anymore after his 2nd knee surgery.

We'll try to resign all of our own players before we look at many FA's. We have a lot of young guys who will need new contracts. It'll be really nice to not have many holes.
