Taylor Moton gets emotional talking about what happens next year


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
    • On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
