And yes, it is designated as a post June-1st cut.Per Ian Rapoport on Twitter, the Carolina Panthers upon finalizing the contract for Daryl Williams this afternoon have released offensive tackle Matt Kalil.The writing was pretty much on the wall since yesterday that this move was incoming Womens DJ Moore Jersey , but some reports earlier today (ironically from the same source) indicated that might not be the case.Still, if I understand the situation correctly (and it is a complicated one), from a cap perspective even though the $7 million salary was not going to become guaranteed because he has not yet passed a physical, he was still going to be guaranteed an additional $1 million dollars just for existing by the end of the day today. Rather than let even that happen Donte Jackson Jersey White , Marty Hurney pulled the trigger on cutting the bait, line, and sinker since it was already wrapped around the pier anyway.I still think we would have been better off keeping him on the roster due to the amount of dead money we were going to incur either way, but now the move is made and at the very least https://www.pantherslockerroom.com/authentic-dj-moore-jersey , we can stop dwelling on Matt Kalil in about five days or so. Anyway, pour one sip out for Ryan Kalil’s lil bro in your celebrating tonight. This is part two of a series looking at potential trade up scenarios for the Panthers in the NFL Draft."In part one of this two-part series I reviewed the possibilities of the Panthers trading up in the first round to obtain a pass rusher. In part two let’s look at the more likely scenario. The Panthers draft a different position in the first round at No. 16, such as an offensive tackle. It would make sense wouldn’t it? In a draft heavy in defensive linemen there is a good chance a good one slips to the latter third of the first round. That would put the Panthers in range by offering the Panthers’ second round pick (No. 47) plus a second or third round pick in next year’s draft depending on how far they need to jump up into the first round. Given the number of defensive linemen with first round grades I can almost guarantee there will be a pass rusher available in the mid to late 20s. With luck a player like Clelin Ferrell or Montez Sweat could slide into the 20s. Certainly Florida defensive end Jachai Polite could be there though I hear he butchered the interview process at the combine. I admit though his tape is impressive. He is really good at getting under the tackles pads and taking the short path to the quarterback.Jaylon Ferguson had 45 sacks at Louisiana Tech in four seasons. Yes he played at the FBS level but the kid has football instincts. You just have to get past the level of competition.Zack Allen from Boston College could be a target early in the second round. I’m sure Luke Kuechly would welcome a fellow Eagle on the Panthers defense. Allen would not require an extra second round pick to move up, more like a third or maybe the Panthers third round compensatory pick.If we now flip the script and instead assume the Panthers selected a pass rusher in the first round a trade up for a tackle could be in the cards. There should be a couple good prospects that could be available late in the first round or early second. Dalton Risner https://www.pantherslockerroom.com/authentic-curtis-samuel-jersey , Cody Ford, or Greg Little would be good addition to the Panthers offensive line. The Panthers may find the chance to land a starting caliber tackle with a couple mid round picks too tempting to pass up.After last season’s second half meltdown general manager Marty Hurney and head coach Ron Rivera might feel the need to turn things around in a hurry. For this reason trading a future pick might not seem as risky as in past offseasons. Another seven-win season or worse and it will be the next general manager having to deal with the 2020 draft. For this reason I expect the Panthers to be active during this upcoming draft.
