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

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

Even two is a stretch. He would have to have an agent advising him worse than whoever was representing Josh Norman in 2016. If Carolina can't get him to play left and they are keen on publicly questioning his value in comparison to his peers they are only hurting themselves in this process.

He was tagged twice but bolted in free agency to the Vikings where he got a big 3 year deal. 

Thought they reached the end for tagging. He completely played the system/game the right way, hot super rich as a result too. Funny I always thought was in the Teddy group far as QB talent, but I seen he was 5th in TDs since joining the viking.....waaay higher than I thought.

What are the odds that maybe Coach Rhule and Scott Fitterer don’t think Moton is worth the money he’s asking for and Brady Christensen is the long term plan at RT? I’m not saying I agree with this but does anyone else think this is a possibility?

Heard a few minutes of Polian tonight on Sirius NFL radio.  Said...1)nothing gets done without a deadline and expects contracts to go down to the wire and also...2)with the tags being so high today....agents are advising their clients to take the tag if they are not getting what they want.  Player taking the risk of course.  If it goes that way not too concerned.

I have no problem whatsoever with 3.

Norman's agent didn't understand easily Jerry Richardson could devolve into a fit of pique, unfortunate situation.  

I've seen no public comments whatsoever from the Panthers questioning Moton in any way, nothing improper going on that would hurt  their negotiating position.

If Moton is going to switch to LT seems to me he would want to play under the tag...

...if he proves he can do it there's a bigger pot of dough at the end of that particular rainbow.

Unless he wants that kind of money now, which would explain why there is no deal yet…

Deadline is 4pm today.

Mind you, even if they do get a deal done by then it might not be announced immediately. Sometimes the announcement comes a little later in the day.

I am still betting on him signing something.  Damn that is a huge gamble when you are leaving 60+ million on the table.

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
