If you were in Moton's shoes...

[Mr. Scot]

...and the Panthers were unwilling to give you a shot at left tackle, would you take this offseason to see whether another team might?

[Bartin]

What makes you think he wants to play LT? He’s always been a RT including college. He might have no interest in switching sides and there really isn’t much difference between LT and RT pay these days.

If I’m him the only thing I care about this offseason is how much money I’m getting.

...which is a big reason why you want to play left tackle.

Beyond that though, Moton has actually talked about being able to play on the left.

Would he prefer that job? Don't know, but that is where the big money tends to be.

[WarPanthers89]

Both sides get paid huge now. I’m sure switching to LT is the last thing in his mind. He’s getting mega money this offseason if it’s from us or another team (it better be from us)

Why can’t people accept that Moton might just be better off at RT?

There’s a reason not every good RT gets moved to LT. And when has a RT ever turned down $$ so that he can attempt LT somewhere else?

[Untouchable]

Both the Panthers and Moton want him to play RT.

Because we watched what we put at left tackle this past Thursday.

RT make big money too, hell any good olinemen can make big money. True, LT make the most because its the most important on the line but Moton can get at least 25 mil guaranteed at RT, the position he has played the most and has dominated at.

We know what the Panthers want, but we can't say what Moton wants. And the only thing you're going to get him to say at this point is that he'll play wherever the team needs him to while his agent handles the other stuff.

You also have to figure that if the Panthers don't give him a good enough commitment, his agent will most certainly look to sell other teams on the idea that he can play left.

Regardless, given that we don't know Moton's preference, that's why the question is phrased as "what would you do in his place?"

[therealmjl]

Is he even left handed?

[Happy Panther]

He played LT first week 2018. We gave up three sacks and five TFL. No idea how Moton did.

I would probably be wondering why I was wearing someone else's shoes.  

 

The real question is, does Moton want to play left tackle?  He is doing well where he is.  He may not want to change.

We don't know. Hence the question.

He hasn't expressed a preference for playing left, but neither has he expressed one for playing right.

The only statements you'll see from Moton are that he can play both and he'll play wherever the team needs him to.

Now if you talk to his agent, that's likely another story.

Okay... how does that change what I said?

What if we put Moton at LT and he fails? Now you just created a hole at RT and for what?

Moton has been RT his entire career. This is a new coaching staff too, obviously they prefer him at RT. And in todays league you need both tackles to be good.
