Moton seems like an absolute no brainer that we should resign. I just don’t understand this franchise some times.

I have found that whatever I think is a good idea, the team will do the opposite most of the time.

 

[SOJA]

we decided to let Bradberry walk, pay Shaq and not prioritize Moton and Samuel's extensions and gave up a treasure chest for Greg Little (healthy scratch)

I'm fine with samuel walking

letting Moton walk would be insanity. at least tag and trade him

Moton for sure is priority number one

Samuel I wouldn't give top flight money to, but I'd try very hard to keep him. He's our most complete WR

As in the FA thread

Are we prepared to pay Moton 16.5+ a year when we will have 26-30 mil in space.

 

 

When we are losing ontop of Moton 

Our starting LT, LG, RG, #1 CB, and Curtis Samuel.  We sign Moton, IF we dont cut anyone, we will have roughly 5-10 mil to fill all the holes I just listed.  And Remember, just because we cut a guy like KK Short to open space, that just opens another hole.

You absolutely spend the money on him and figure out the rest afterwards. It would be a massive mistake to let a premier OT walk.

That being said, it's amazing the amount of holes on the team and they're nearly maxing out on cap space before they do much of anything. How do you even spend that much money when half of the roster is filled with garbage practice squad caliber players. Hurney has to be one of the worst GMs for cap management, just WTF man.

BTW this is the best factoid about Moton

The Carolina Panthers selected Moton in the second round (64th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. The pick used to select Moton was acquired in a trade with the New England Patriots in a trade that sent Kony Ealy to the Patriots.

Then the pick traded for Greg Little.  The Patriots picked Chase Winovich.

Has been bad at cap management for his entire career.  Not sure why people though he would get better with a couple years behind a microphone?

Imagine being a Jets fan, and the new HC gets fired after 3 seasons.  Then when the owner Re Hires Adam Gase, some fans say "but it'll be diffferent this time."

There are zero reasons why Moton was not extended last off season.

Instead of extending Moton and James a year before they would have hit free agency, we instead spent that money on Shaq, Teddy, Anderson, and KK.

Dumb team.

And monster CMC contract.

At least on the surface, it looks like that duty has been taken away from him and handed to Samir Suleiman.

Tepper had also talked about shifting more of the pro scouting duties to someone else as well (presumably Pat Stewart).

So for me, the question becomes if you have to keep delegating his duties to other people, what are you keeping this guy around for?

Marty being in the building has made me lose every bit of faith that I had in Tepper.  You simply can't look at his track record and see a reason for him to still be here.

It can only mean that Tepper thinks he has a buddy in Marty, or he doesn't mind him staying because he doesn't cost very much.

Baffling.

Most of this board thought along the same lines when Marty came back.

"he's learned from his mistakes" is what I read here over and over.  3 years in?  No playoffs, bad cap position, huge RB contract (again), paying LB's, trading up in drafts for bad players, etc...

Nothing has changed except his age.

I've long believed that Marty is one of those guys who keeps his job by knowing how to play the game and or promote himself.

He sure as hell didn't do it by building winning teams.
