The Next "Core" Contracts

[kungfoodude]

Shaq Thompson is a core Panther member, as is CMC. 

Some of the upcoming candidates to be added(or subtracted) are:

Taylor Moton

Curtis Samuel

DJ Moore

Donte Jackson

 

Which of these players do you keep and which do you let walk? What kind of contract do you sign them to?

 

I would keep:

Taylor Moton on a front loaded contract, 4 years, $9-12 mil/year, ~60% guaranteed.

DJ Moore, 5 years, $14-18 mil/year, ~50% guaranteed.

 

I would likely let Samuel and Jackson walk unless they make a startling turnaround next season.

Can't sign DJ Moore until next off season.  He has only 2 years on his rookie contract. Has to have 3 before you can sign him.

[Jared Patterson]

We should sign Moton now, but if I had to bet we lose him and Samuel

Yeah, that is more of a projection.

You have to lock Moton up long term. We’d be friggn stupid not to. He’s been our best OL the last two seasons. Moore is next on the list too unless we can trade him for a 1st or 2nd. But Moore was a guy that Rhule liked out of high school and tried recruiting him. I expect Moore to stay here for a long time. Samuel won’t be here much longer unless Brady and Rhule are able to be creative with him. I had Samuel as a running back coming out of OSU.  I don’t care much for Jackson. Was a big fan of his coming out of LSU, but he’s not much of a guy who wants to learn. Thinks he know it all and depends on his athletic ability way too often.

I agree. I think Luke’s retirement prompted Hurney to extend Shaq but I wish we had waited on this one.

I think we’d lose Samuel b4 Moton. Wouldn’t be surprised if they try to lock him up b4 the draft.

[Harbingers]

@kungfoodude a 30 year extension for Marty Hurney sounds like the most realistic.

I think you try to move Samuel now if you have no intention of keeping him.

Wh... why would we trade Moore?

[Cpt slay a ho]

Moton, Moore is a no brainer and donte if he performs well this season should be added to that list, curtco also if we don’t draft a WR in the first 2 rounds

I had that same thought. Never go full O'Brien.

Moton hands down. DJ we can wait at least two more seasons before we sign him big. Jackson and Samuel can go unless they prove themselves
