Have to believe OBD knew this and went ahead with Ty Nsekhe signing given Kalil didn't play for most of 2018 and was one of worst LTs in NFL after big FA signing by Gettelman in 2017 in Carolina.
MATT KALILT, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT
Panthers released OT Matt Kalil.
It's a post-June 1 designation, which creates $7.25 million in cap space. It was a necessary, expected move after Kalil missed 2018 with an unexplained knee issue. The injury washout came on the heels of a truly dreadful 2017 where Kalil's play regressed even further, and he was one of the worst tackles in the league. Kalil's 2017 signing was an abject disaster for ex-GM Dave Gettleman. The Panthers will be moving forward with Taylor Moton and Daryl Williams at tackle. Four months shy of his 30th birthday, Kalil is in danger of washing out of the league.
