OK, at first I liked the Matt Kalil signing, but after seeing all these NFL "analysts" hating on it, I'm starting to get a little scared. Please make us all feel better. – Matt in San Francisco
Matt in San Francisco, you've come to the right place. And Matt formerly in Minnesota, so have you.
There was some initial criticism out there regarding Kalil's contract, but subsequent signings around the league showed that the market was pricey for teams intent on landing a left tackle in free agency. Some questioned Kalil being worth it given that he played arguably his best football way back in 2012 as a rookie, when the fourth overall pick made the Pro Bowl after helping Adrian Peterson earn league MVP honors.
