Yall are a trip, 

 

Offensive tackles aren't ancient at 31, in fact a 2 year deal for a 31 year old tackle its perfect lol.

 

Dude is still a top third tackle.

The avg age of linemen is 26.  He is 31 with knees that have to be managed.  He is under contract for this year.  Why in the holy fug would you just let this play out and see what happens in the offseason.  And dont give me "he should be rewarded for being our best lineman" thats not how the nfl works like at all

Just a reminder, straight from the horse's mouth...

“It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it," Moton said of his knee. "But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future."

So yeah, we're re-upping a guy on the other side of 30 who himself admits that he's dealing with chronic knee issues.

There are a grand total of 14 OTs on NFL rosters over the age of 32.

This is in fact not the flex you think it is..... especially when you consider the names basically every tackle 32 and up has had a consistent career to Moton.... its the GOOD ones that keep playing.  Of those 14 eight were pro bowlers or all pro last year.

(Moton also turned 31 like 4 days ago)

Yeah, I guess these aren't serious issues. I mean....we better hope they aren't.

I think the confusion revolves around the rumors his knees were in bad shape. If that IS the case, this is a bad idea because he very well could be close to the end of his career.

If that is all BS and he isn't having chronic issues, it's great to have our best OL since Kalil retired back.

Until its more than rumor/conjecture on a message board im good. 

Its not like he got a five year extension (Looking at you Jake) this seems like a calculated move to get exactly the amount of use left out of his career imo.

How many of them are dealing with chronic knee issues that have to be managed?

I just don't understand extending him when he was already under contract for this season. Why not see how his knees hold up? He's been an iron man throughout his career but finally kissed some games last year due to knee pain that according to him is due to chronic issues. You know what doesn't improve with age and continuing to play football? Chronic knee issues.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
