There is no doubt about this scenario as Moton has emerged into one of the better tackles in the game. He isn't going anywhere. He is getting the tag, sources said, and the Panthers want to secure his services well into the future, with the extension Ronnie Stanley did midseason with the Ravens a possible template.

There we go.

Stanley as a template? He's a left tackle 🤔

If you have contract terms he agrees with, sure.

If you don't, not so easy.

Yes, and maybe that comparison to Ronnie Stanley money is concerning. Love Moton and willing to pay him, but Stanley is getting top end LT money. Maybe Moton wants Stanley money and Panthers are stuck at top end RT money. 

Glad Hurney is gone, he would say Stanley money? Hold my beer

I've always thought we should move Moton to left tackle. I see no reason why, if we're going to pay him big money, we shouldn't do it now. I think he can be just as good on the left side as he's been on the right.

I'm for it, but I seem to be in the minority on that.

I'd argue it might make more sense this offseason than it ever has.

I wonder if we're committing to this option this early, of this has any bearing on Samuel's situation?

Technically we're not committed to it yet. We have until March 9th. I'm actually pretty sure nobody's designated a Franchise Tag yet. If they did, I missed it.

As far as what it means, not sure what it says about Samuel, but it probably does indicate that our offers and Moton's wishes aren't very close to each other.

Ugh...Moton has never jumped out to me as one of the best in the game. Just solid.

He's been a workhorse for us the last 3 years (fug you Ron for benching him all of his rookie season), only missing a handful of snaps. And, IMO, been very good. I'd have no issue paying him $15-17M for the next 5 years, if he'd agree to it.

FWIW, tag price would be $14.5M.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
