The one player we absolutely cannot lose this offseason.....

Taylor Moton ladies and gentleman. Every starter on our line is slated to be a free agent this offseason with the exception of center (which needs to be cut) Moton is young and someone we need to build around. Even if we are forced to use the franchise tag on him he cannot be lost to another team. Fug Hurney for not signing him sooner which will definitely cost us millions more in the long run. Long live the Moton Spike TD celebration!

There are zero reasons why Moton was not extended last off season.

Instead of extending Moton and James a year before they would have hit free agency, we instead spent that money on Shaq, Teddy, Anderson, and KK.

Dumb team.

I know Bradberry was not interested in re signing with us but damn do I wish we still had him. He’s performing as a top CB this season and he would have been great with our young and upcoming defense

Cap space change this season is going to play a big role in FA signings. I thought we should have extended him 2 years ago when he was getting chances to play but it was blatantly obvious he had talent. 

No matter the cap I don’t see a way that we can afford to let him walk unless we plan on pushing our rebuild back another year

I dont either really but it will all depend on how much the cap drops. We may not be able to offer him what some of the other teams with a lot of cap room can. On the flip side, if we can sign him cheaper once the cap drops that would be great, but I dont see it happening.

I wouldn’t blink an eye if we placed the franchise tag on him. Other than CMC he is the most impactful player on our roster that is on a non rookie contract

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
