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.

Well, as @LinvilleGorge posted, it was from his own mouth he talked about these chronic knee issues he is managing.

That's not great.

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

I doubt they're serious. But if they're chronic they're worsening and it caused him to miss games last year while having his workload carefully managed. If we were trying to squeeze a couple more years out of a SB window I would better understand it but that's the opposite of our current situation. IMO, this was clearly a situation where you let the guy play out this season and see how it goes. You always have the option of the franchise tag in your back pocket if need be.

Possibly. Waiting to see how it’s structured. At face value it seems a bit risky with $40M guaranteed. I think we are making room to bring someone else on 

It removes his void years and he's signed through the 2027 season on what's basically a 3 year deal worth 74m with roughly 50m of it guaranteed. This years contract numbers didn't change. His old deal was 5 years with 3 void years running til 2028 to limit the signing bonus hits, so I'm interested to see how the new deal effects those three seasons. 

 

He was already counting towards 2026 with a cap hit of 4.8m and 2027 with 1.6m cap hit.

I gave you a quote from the man himself above.

I am not blind, I do know however that Taylor Moton is not a Dr and this sounds like a case of over speaking.

Literally the same interview...

"My body's been feeling good," Moton said. "No triceps problems right now, no knee problems," he said. "The knees have been feeling good and excited about doing whatever I can (to play) 17 games plus -- plus playoffs. Every play is a sprint, but the whole season is a marathon."

So he is sitting out practices for shits and giggles?

 

Same question for you.  How does extending him help the panthers?  WHy not simply wait?

 

this is the exact conversation we had with the same usual suspects when cmac was needlessly extended after year 3, how did that turn out for us?

You know who says their chronic knee issues are magically resolved? Someone currently in negotiations for $40M+ in new money.

You know whose chronic knee issues don't magically resolve? 30+ year old 300+ football players.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
