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.

    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those. 
    • This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like. 
    • If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
