Will the Panthers restructure Taylor Moton?

Moton’s $31.3 million cap number is the Panthers’ highest and represents 11.5 percent of their cap. That would seem to make the 30-year-old Moton a restructure candidate, something the former front office did several times with Moton’s contract. But at the combine last year, Morgan said the Panthers wanted to be a “a little smarter” in terms of restructuring. “We’re going do things the right way, not kind of kick the can down the road,” Morgan said. “We want to evenly distribute and pay year-to-year as opposed to kicking the can down the road. So that’s why Brandt’s here.” That would suggest the Panthers will let it ride with Moton, who’s in the final year of his contract. As for a possible pay cut, Moton doesn’t have any incentive to do so. He remains a dependable right tackle and missed the first three games of his career last season.

Until proven otherwise we still have what was one of the bottom QB rooms in the league last year. And that was with one of the better OL units in the league. The last thing we should do is jettison Moton as of right now.

Let him play out his deal and go from there next off season. And fug no to giving AT a new deal.

Here 

Another scoop from Person that starts with "Might" or "May"--50% chance.  Another headline that has a question mark at the end.  Where is the XL surgery information, Person?

"Xavier Legette may probably have had wrist surgery or not, per sources."

OK, Lets play along.  Person stakes his reputation on the fact that the Panthers will not extend Moton. Bank on it.  It is signed, sealed and delivered.  Carved in stone.  Does that mean he gets a $31m cap number this season? What does that mean?

1. If we trade Moton pre June 1, We would save over $12m and get a pick or player later.  Most of the teams in need of a RT are at the end of the round.  They are competing for Lombardis, so they might really like an elite OT that they can sign and give a 2-year extension, mitigating the costs for a proven veteran.  Everyone wins.  Why would a team do that?  Ask KC.  With the Patriots, Dolphins, Ravens, Rams, Chiefs, Bears, Jets etc. all predicted to have OT as their #1 need, only the Patriots and Jets would have access to the top 2 OTs in the draft, leaving 5 or more scrambling for a second-tier OT.  Stay tuned.

2.  The Panthers would then be in line to draft a RT.  Both Simmons (Ohio State) and Membou (Missouri) are experienced at RT and could start right away.  So you get rid of about $12m of cap, add a draft pick, and trade an aging veteran and draft a young RT. Risky, but you get a younger, elite T, a draft pick, and $12m for a free agent S and Mike Jack at CB--not out of the question.

So, if the Panthers are not extending Moton like Person swore on his life, are they trading him?  Possible, or maybe not.

Pretty much. How can I get my article submitted with doing the absolute minimal amount of work?

He's probably using AI to write this poo for him. LOL

Do you remember the "muh sources" era of NFL reporting. Florio and profootballtalk wore that OUT. This crappy person report feels like a branch off that awful reporting timeline.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
