The Carolina Panthers released left tackle Matt Kalil on Thursday with a post-June 1 designation.
The Charlotte Observer first reported the move. Using the delayed designation saves the Panthers more than $7 million under the salary cap this year.
Taylor Moton is expected to start at left tackle in 2019.
Kalil had three years remaining on his contract.
Kalil missed the entire 2018 season with a right knee injury, landing on injured reserve before the season opener.
The 29-year-old was a first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings (2012) before joining the Panthers, with since-retired brother Ryan Kalil at center, in 2017.
