Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

[Icege]

MY FEELS

[carpanfan96]

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.

To free up cap space for this year

New deal brings this year's cap hit down from $31.3M to $23.7M which gets us close to $30M in cap space...

WHO ARE WE ABOUT TO SIGN!?!?

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.

Unsure, but that’s the exciting part. You can be excited, you know?

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.
