Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

The knee stuff is a bit overblown. He was talking about normal issues you have as a lineman.

 

You carry a ton of extra weight and explode out of stance (counting practices and camps) probably a few thousand times each season. 

 

They freaking are shot to hell after a few years and it's just pain management for the rest of your life. 

 

We are talking about 120-150 extra lb of pressure on your knees, ankles and feet combined with using and putting explosive force on them constantly and consistently every week. 

 

Mine still haven't recovered from highschool and I'm 41. Lmfao

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.

Its a two year extension you guys are a trip. Why would he say both in the same conversation? Lol he clearly overspoke 

Taylor is not a DR. Chronic is a very bland term, meaning repetitive it also doesn't mean pain/discomfort or inability.

I'm old enough to remember when the Huddle turned it's nose up to Andrew Whitworth for being too old. 

We passed and he went to the Rams and played at a Pro Bowl level until his late 30s.

The front office has far more insight into Moton's health than anyone here. 

I'm happy we are keeping this group together

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.

That's sort of what I mean. If this is a situation that this is likely to continue to degrade pretty steadily, I would call that serious. 

I am curious if we end up with the highest price tag OL in 2026 now.

The man literally missed games last year and had to have his workload carefully managed. Why? Because of pain/discomfort and inability. A lot of chronic knee issues come down to pain management. No doctor can tell you how it's going to go. If they do they're lying to you. We know how it went last year.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
