Taylor Motons Contract

[chknwing]

I did not realize his cap number for this season was so high.  Hes basically handcuffing the team at almost $30 million this season.  What are the options, restructure?  Extension? Trade?  Is he worth $30 million?

[Jon Snow]

Leave it alone. Eat the cap charge this season and don't push it into the future. We don't need the cap space this year anyway.

They appear to be letting it ride with his contract.   For the best

Exactly what the should do. Sign him to a new contract next season if both agree but right now let it be.

It seems Brandt Tilis has stopped the insane restructuring for a 5 win team. 

I haven't looked but I think Moton is the 8th highest non-QB cap hit in the whole NFL, gooooo panthers!!!!

I think he should take a pay cut.......but that's tilis job now..

You can't without restructuring it into an extension, for the 3rd time. Just let it die the death it should have and start over with a new cheaper short term contract next year.

I wouldn’t touch it. Let it ride. Plus, Moton to his credit has been consistent for us.

He’s been worth it. The only player on the team you never talk about. He’d be a perennial pro bowler if he didn’t spend his prime on the worst franchise in the nfl 

[Panthering]

Just eat it for this season? Who cares as we aren't contending and he's actually a consistent presence on the line. We made all of these fun moves this offseason despite him taking $30M on the cap so no sweat.

How have we been handcuffed? We signed a bunch of FA and locked up DB. What more would you have done?

A paycut? That would just ultimately create another hole, and possibly a hole that takes seasons to fill with a player that's comparable. Perhaps we can sign him to something more reasonable next season. He's now the 15th highest paid OT. Keep in mind that he only allowed one sack last season.

It's $30m again next year as well

Moton went from fringe starter to one of our most reliable O lineman in our Franchise's History. The cap hit itself is not a good look but he has more than earned the money we've paid him. Glad we stopped kicking the can down the road

30 Mil...... 

Damn!. 

How much $$ do we have tied up across that entire line? 

I will say Him and Hunt next to each other is VERY stout. If only I had as much confidence in Corbett at Center, we'd have brickwall infront of Bryce.

Idunno how much cap space we have left but I figured they we're waiting to see if Gilmore will sign back for a couple years before they went moving money again. 

I also think we have our eyes on a tackle in the draft. I wish it were center but hopefully Corbett is more Ryan Kalil than Tyler Larsen/Greg Van Roten.
