Curious if we would entertain the option of moving Moton to LT and having Yosh play RT (if we resign him) if we aren't able to get a good free agent LT or draft one. Not sure how Moton would look on the left side, but I thought Yosh looked a lot better at RT than LT last season

Most of the fanbase has been talking about Moton at LT pretty much ever since we drafted him. Pretty clear that's just not something the Panthers are going to entertain for whatever reason and at this point after playing exclusively RT for so long I'm sure it wouldn't be the plug and play switch that fans envision. Everything you've been doing for your entire NFL career now gets reversed.

In someways it’s best to keep Moton at RT after nine seasons because as you say, everything would be reversed, so it might not be an easy switch. Besides, Moton has consistently been one of our highest rated players at his position via PFF. So I’d keep him at RT and find an upgrade at LT via the draft or FA.

When preseason rolls around this year Taylor Moton will be 32. Too far in the game now to start tinkering. Just keep him where he is.

I saw today where the tag for a C was something like 28 mil. Because the rules lump all OL positions together for the tag number calculations. 
 

So Baltimore will likely not be tagging Linderbaum, I mean… would you? Doesn’t mean they can’t get him back. 
 

I wouldn’t mind paying if they could make the numbers work. Because now we are gonna be weaker at LOT to start with, but beyond that we kind of half measured the interior with not upgrading C. 
 

Get stout all across the inside. 

Center should have been addressed in the draft already. Just a simple truth.
