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.

I gave you a quote from the man himself above.

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.

he has been paid, handsomely, you dont give new guaranteed deals on past performance................unless you are the panthers

So you anticipate him not being a top 15 RT the next two years? Because that’ll be the going rate for one.

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

https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-taylor-moton-has-another-contract-in-him-thrilled-to-return-entire-ol-group

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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
