If that's the price, then that's the price. Don't want to see us wade into the 2021 season without him.

so be it 

[Harbingers]

Franchise or Transition?

$14.5M is the tag number for OL this year.

Moton is coming off a 4-year, $4.15M contract. From $1M to $14M in a single season.

Franchise his now and pay him next year when he plays great again and the cap rises. This guy shouldn't be going anywhere. 

They can still sign Samuel and add a starting corner and LB.

something to keep in mind.  Let's say we end up drafting a QB and now we have all this cap room.  We can afford to spend big on a long term Left Tackle.  But do we really want to sink so much in both positions?  30 to 35 million a year on LT and RT? 

We could do it with a QB on a rookie contract.  

 I could be talked into it.  It gives us 4 years to get someone else on the roster.  Speeds up the rebuild to win now pretty fast.  But it might be a good idea to tag Moton, sign the left tackle long term, and then draft RT this year or early next for a strong affordable line long term.

No brainer

It would be nice to get that long term deal done he's more than earned it at this point.

He's certainly earned it

Expected. The way this offseason is going with the reduce cap, look for more tags and cap casualties. Risky to sign a long term deal with the pandemic.

I'm not sure they even do the Transition Tag anymore.

[ImaginaryKev]

Next year is the right time to extend Moton and DJ Moore, he's going to be better with an actual QB

Yes. Paying 2 quality olineman money is not a bad thing and Paradis will be gone after next year.

Other than QB oline and dline are most important.

I know in Panther land it’s the norm to pay LBs, RBs, and washed up olineman but in reality those positions are not as important.

Has this team paid any quality long term olineman since gross and R Kalil left? I can’t remember any. Maybe Williams 1 year deal for 8m. Maybe Paradis who has sucked for one year and average last year. Turner? Until he was traded.

Wish this team would stop trying to squeeze by with the oline year after year it just doesn’t work. And the evaluations they’ve had on olineman have been awful.
