Or draft his replacement. Let him walk in FA and recoup a comp pick. 

I have to think that is the plan.  Maybe round 3 or 4.

Me: "Wow, it's so nice that we have a top 10 offensive line and some continuity. It made the offense watchable for the first time in years."

Huddle: "Let's blow up our offensive line!"

If he has bad knees as Joe Person suggests, could this keep the OL from blowing up?  We don't know--but I read this thread and did not arrive at the same conclusion you did.

What exactly are you expecting to get in return for Moton?  A 4th round pick or something?  He'll help the team a lot more next year than some day 3 draft pick.

In a draft loaded talent, we could find a starter in the 4th rd. For what its worth, on offense guys like Bond(WR), S. Williams(WR), Skattebo, guys like this will probably be available in the 4th. Or Peebles at DT, and Jack Sawyer who I think will be a really good player could be available. So a 4th round pick could bring great value. Just saying, don't act like you cant find talent in the 4th rd.

Players don't take team friendly deals to stay in dumpster fire organizations. At 31 this will be his last shot to get one last payday and possibly his last shot to try to compete for a ring of that's what he wants. He generally fits the description of a guy who would demand a trade more than he fits the description of a guy open to take a team friendly deal with his current team.

we just got brady and jackson at absolute bargins so who knows

'We are great' turns into 'ohh poop' real fast in the NFL. Moton has a 1 year contract and they just spent big on 2 OGs and a LT coming up on his big payday. He shouldn't be here next year given all of that. It's already the highest paid Oline. Teams need rookie contracts. How healthy is he anyways has to be added into thst mix too.

All the home grown moaning is just a thing because they have been terrible at drafting and the stupid trade up to #1 IMO. Moore is the only one we are really missing. The OTs look better than the TEs and WRs. The entire buffet of D options is in that 'maybe but' category where need gives them more value.

 

and from Morgans comment about Icky things could get interesting regarding his 5th year.  Not sure why they dont just pick it up as he deserves a 5th, dont make this difficult

No we didn't. Those guys tested the free agency waters and couldn't find anything better. They saw the market.

sure but I doubt there even is a market for a 32 year old RT that has to be load managed during practice

If we're not sold on Icky long-term and Moton is going into the final year of his contract and possibly has career shortening knee issues going on, it's very possibly that OT could be a LOT higher on our needs list than fans would think.

You rarely post, and this topic should not ignite sarcasm or taunting comments.  Some posters (and they know who they are because I call them out--so they double down) make everything about the poster and not the post.  They can click out of the thread and be done with it since their comments offer nothing to the facts of the conversation--but they feel compelled to do some cyber chest pounding.  Probably not breast fed and sporting small penises.  Mr. Scot made a good point about getting rid of a talent too soon over too late.  Here we have to determine when too late is going to be.  We need to keep developing Young so even if we aren't in the playoffs this year, we need his progression to continue and not have a setback.  A lot of people would have conditionally agreed if we did not have so many more pressing needs--so I get it.  Just ignore those scholars who troll here--they have blow holes on the tops of their heads and their necks get long and stiff when they watch porn---they have nothing to offer.

I am on this site everyday, and I don't post normally because if you aren't one of the 14 people who consistently post on this board, then your opinion is garbage. And that isn't towards you. I also like stirring the pot sometimes, just who I am... When next year comes, we will either have to pay a 32 year old RT more then he's worth to keep him, or let him go for basically nothing. If we could get out of his contract now, and get a 4th or 5th rounder, which I think is possible we should do it. JMO

If you would quit trying to be the ALPHA DOG on here and read for once... you might see I didn't suggest we could get the 4th rounder, although I do think a 4th or 5th rounder is possible. I was responding to someone else,
