So what's the plan with Moton?

So this is our currently salary cap situation if we keep Moton (I have pre-emptively cut Miles and Dane Jackson FYI) as is next year:

And then this is our salary cap if we cut all the oldies including Moton:

We can get another 8-9 mill from extending Horn.

We could also sign Moton to an extension, but is that wise?

So what say you? Go all in on our young core and get young replacements with the cap space or keep rolling with the old guys like Moton? The only UFA's im even pressed to bring back is BC (especially if you use your out on Moton) and Mike Jackson.

I'm going to be the odd man out here but whatever. 

You get rid of him. He's already older than Kawaan short when he started falling apart.

He's a fan favorite and this franchise has the worst luck with resigning guys like this and then they ride IR for 2-3 years. If he was 3 years younger than sure. Realistically, he probably only has 1-2 good years left before he starts to decline. 

Put Christensen there, or slide Ekwonu over and draft a real LT not an overrated Guard.

We need to do him like the Chargers did Okung. They were about the same age btw.

You can probably ride with his contract into next year but, I would bail after that.

Moton has been one of our most consistent players through all of the bad times. He is a professional and knows how to take care of business, I would try to extend him and keep him for the consistency and leadership. If any player deserves it, it's Moton.

Deserves to take up cap room when they are a risk or decline or injury? Yeah, this is a Panthers forum.

Let's lock up Shaq on 5 year 100 million dollar deal too since he's such a swell fella and been around so long.

Shaq has been injury prone and not played up to his contract, Shaq should be cut loose. Where has Moton's play dropped off? O-line men have longer careers compared to linebackers. Everybody is a risk for injury, look at Derrick Brown after giving him all that money, so we shouldn't extend Brown because he might get injured?

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
