REPORT: No movement in Panthers’ talks w/ Taylor Moton

If they can't come to terms on a multi-year deal they will absolutely tag him again and I'd fully expect it to be exclusive in nature. 

How'd that work out for him?  L. Bell is an unstable idiot -- Moton is not.  To project how Moton is going to behave based on an what moron like Bell stupidly did is a complete joke.

 

 

Again waiting to see what happens tomorrow before speculating on what might or might not happen next year.  Chances of him not signing appear fairly high but it seems the reluctance is on Moton not the Cats. Still hopeful something long term can be worked out.

Wow, that's an awful lot of hate for a person you have probably never met, or talked to, or have any idea what is actually going on in his head.

 

Interwebz warrioring at it's finest. I tell ya what.

We would wind up paying him, if we franchise him 3 times, approx 52mil. So about 17mil a year. Not bad. The question becomes, how is Moton going to handle being tagged 3 times? I can't even venture a guess.

Other than Walter Jones I can't remember a player actually playing 3 times on a franchise tag. Multiple folks have been tagged twice but the large majority were signed long term before the second tag took effect. It is used as leverage to get a long term deal. Teams and players don't expect to actually play multiple times with the tag. Usually because the cost gets prohibitive.  The cost next year will be 120% of the average of the top five guys salaries at offensive tackle or 120% of his prior salary whichever is larger.  So the amount may be greater than simply taking 120% of his salary this year or adding 144% to what he is projected to make next year if other guys get big contracts when the cap goes way up next year.

Most of the time making comments like that tells you more about the person making the comments than it does about who they are made about.

I did start by saying that my numbers were shaky, and they would be approximations. I was just hoping to be close.

 

But yeah, I want that long term deal done. I don't want our first attempt at keeping a star player to go down the tubes. 

 

I also agree that if we give Moton a 4 or 5 year deal. Not matter how much it is, by the time the deal is done, it will not look nearly as bad. So I say go for it.

I truly do try to only respond to post that are actual football related. I hate getting sucked into those throwing shade tirades. It is too damm draining. 

 

But it is getting more, and more difficult to ignore those. Mainly because there are just so many of them. Then you get sucked in, and then you feel like an idiot for falling for it again. lol It's a vicious cycle.

I get it. You try to take the high road and keep things civil but it is tough when others constantly take low blows and it is tolerated on this board with no repercussions. I guess I have always heard we teach folks how to treat us.

Thankfully, there are still a bunch of Huddlerz who still like to discuss football. So at least we haven't sunk out of sight. Yet. But we are on life support at the moment.

 

And we do have a couple really good Trolls hanging around. They can be extremely entertaining. Folks trying their dammdest to talk sense into a Troll is priceless.

 

I will say, man, I hope we start fast this year. Cuz if we start the year out badly. This place may be toxic.

Just sticking up for our man Moton.

When folks start lumping Taylor in with that wing-ding L. Bell something's gotta give...

You know it's a bunch of joe schmoe fans talking when they actually think this man is going to want to sign three separate tags. The best interest for TM is a long term deal especially for a lineman where there are so many potential variables out there on the field involving their legs in any given play through hundreds of football snaps.

Part of me wants to say, you go boy. Stick up for our guys.

 

But part of me wants to say. Is there really such a thing as a good excuse to disparage someone?

Kirk Cousins got to three, or am I mistaken?

Im firmly in the two year tag group, while keeping options open.

Absolutely nobody "thinks" that Taylor "wants to sign three separate tags."

However, in order for the team to get the best possible deal for the team, Moton's camp needs to understand the franchise will use all 3 if necessary...

    • Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎. 
    • Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time
    • A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
