Who, Christensen?  How do you know?

Just giving your take the treatment you gave mine lol.

 

But in all honesty, I think Moton is more likely to play LT than Christensen.

Matt Rhule said in a presser not too long ago that they view Brady Christensen more as a right tackle, or possibly a guard.

I said earlier in the thread that I could see Moton moving left this year, then going back to the right side next year while we draft or otherwise acquired our left tackle of the future.

But then again, if Moton plays there this year and looks good, well...

I am happy, but if they had done this last year, he'd be at $15-16m.

I hope this is front loaded-

Moton's agent (Joel Segal) is personally clipping some good coin from the Panthers...

...he also represents McCaffrey.

Will look like a good deal once the TV money hits.

Fair deal to an elite player, at an important position, that is hard to replace.

Wish it was 5+ years. The guy is a beast and this will be a steal in that last season of the deal as other tackles get paid more than him in the next 2-3 years. Glad we got that done and have at least 1 position on the line that is set for the immediate future.

It very well could be. We'll have to wait out the details. It very well could be a four year extension on top of the franchise tag which would put him under contract for 5 years.

Glad we have RT locked up for years to come - now time to get LT solidified....because I'm afraid that Cam Erving ain't it.  Hopefully Christensen can come in and play there at a high level.  Would be KILLER to get a starting, quality LT on 3rd round pick contract money for the next 4 years. 

I have a felling it's gonna be Dennis Daley playing LT this year

He’s at about $16.8M including the tag for 5 years so not as bad as $18M per year. If they did it last year they would have saved a bit but not don’t the tag.

Makes sense--so this is the extension after the tag--I was assuming they threw the tag out--much better.

I have said the same thing.  People forget how effective he was in bursts before last year.  A LT needs the ability to match up against all kinds of pass rushers--power and finesse--that is why they are hard to find-

He will be now. Since we don't have one.
