It's a business.  He's been compensated.   It's nothing personal just the way the league is.

Can't play forever and being 300+ makes it even worse. Great dude but I just hope he can play through the year healthy. 

Signing 2 OGs at max market value just made this inevitable last year while the LT is looking at a new contract. It's just the NFL business side.

He's making $31M this year. Im fairly confident that is more than the annual salaries of everyone on this board combined.

I love T-Mo, but we got to keep it in perspective.

Neither side is in the wrong here

I just hope dan, tepper or bt don't make an emotional move.  Just play this year out and see what's up.

If he's that much of a homer, he'll take a discount on his next contract.  I really doubt he's going to give up millions on his last contract to stay in Carolina though.  

Thanks for your service though Taylor.  One of the few guys we've had over the last 5-10 years that's actually been good.

[LinvilleGorge]

If he wants to continue to play and is physically capable of continuing to play then I'm sure a deal will be reached. But I'm not gonna sit here and feign pity for someone who has earned a literal fortune. He'll make more this year than most wildly successful people will earn in a lifetime. Taylor Moton is gonna be just fine with or without the Panthers moving forward.

There's that s word again...If the career curve and contract numbers align, then perhaps he'll be here, but he deserves fan appreciation however it goes.

[Icege]

If he's still playing at a high level and the numbers can be right for both sides then it would be awesome to have him back. Fingers crossed!

[PootieNunu]

The guy has been solid for us every season he has started, too bad every team he has been on has sucked. He has been well compensated for playing on those sucky teams though.

And the team (especially Brandt) has to worry about resource allocation. We have one of the most expensive Olines in the league. 

No issues with that per se, but with Icky's extension coming up and paying Lewis & Hunt already, it may be better from a team building perspective to draft a RT in the 1st round next year rather than paying another veteran in their 30s.

I just hope that if this is Moton's last year, he (and for us fans) can make the playoffs.

[BrianS]

If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk.

It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it.

It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.

You got it figured out, Once Icky gets his mega-deal that will be 3 different OLmen with cap hits in the 20s........Unless Motown wants to take a super discount, he will get a bigger offer else where. Panthers need both C and RT on rookie deals or around 5 million per..... Just the facts.
