Taylor Motons Contract


Recommended Posts

It's $30m again next year as well

He is not actually getting paid 30m. His actual salary is only a fraction of that. The rest is cap charge for all the signing bonuses he's already gotten over the years. I would speculate that his actual pay is less than 10m.

12 dead vs 27 this year. I’d ride it out next 2 years we aren’t paying anyone else besides hunt and brown

I stand corrected.  Either way he's not getting paid 30m per for this and next season like I was saying to JL.

Yeah Fitt backloaded the contract, base is like $14m. Still $30m cap hit both years regardless of whether it's base or bonuses

Exactly. You can't make this any better. Just eat it not and get it over with.

Would not make sense to move on from him this year. It saves a little over 17 mil next year if we walk away from him at that time. Maybe if our offensive line looks better this year they can throw 5-7mil at Brady in an extension the. Use the other 10 million to address another position of need.  Would love to keep him long term if we could lower that hit down to about 20mil a year. Plenty of tackles seem to be doing well into their mid 30’s.

Yes. I thought it was up after this season. The point still remains that doing anything to it now only makes it worse not better. 

Agreed and saw someone who addressed it so changed to my initial thoughts.

At the same time he's 29, why not just add a couple years extension? Tackles can play a while

Because he is average and expensive and no need to hitch your wagon to him long term.   Get out from under his current deal and go from there

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.

Most of those are LTs, I just never been a huge moton supporter. I view him as the 10-16th best RT, but he's never missed any games that I can recall and very solid though out his career. Plus he never could make the switch to LT. I've never been in his corner, but glad for him locking down the RT spot(just believe it should be at 13th RT rate, but far more pressing issues...)

Honestly this draft maybe the right time to draft his replacement, if not for the many other needs/holes/wants. Maybe Ricky Lee can pull it off, they carried him on the roster for a reason. Looking at numbers, it does seem could be "set". Chirst is another player to think about too.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
