Panthers in extension talks with Taylor Moton


TheSpecialJuan

Recommended Posts

Right tackle Taylor Moton should be a priority for an extension from the Panthers. I’m told by league sources talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent. Said Moton: “I have a lot of trust in my agent. I’m 100 percent focused on Taylor Moton being the best offensive tackle I can be.’’

Honestly it's par for the course that we would be looking to extend him right now:

1. He hasn't earned it

2. He's merely average at his position

These two line up for the perfect Hurney extension

According to PFF, he has earned it. He’s been ranked really high pass blocking wise and average run blocking. He was just ranked 20th in their tackle preview for 2020, so above average with room to improve. We have no other good OL signed past this year so we need to extend him and he should hopefully not be crazy expensive as a RT.

with the salary cap expanding (pre covid) and the new CBA do not be surprised that this deal is going to look huge when in reality it will just be a new normal.  

At this point assuming the salary cap will DECREASE going forward seems like the logical assumption since it’s based on total league revenue and that seems near guaranteed to go down due to COVID impact. Any deals made now that do not take this into account seem likely to look horribad in a year or 2 imo.

    • https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
    • I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
