Taylor Moton “tag likely”

Tag works if he allows it. We at least get him in 2021 and if we can't come to a long term deal then we can see if it's worth a long term deal in 2022 or if we filled enough holes we can go with a rookie. 8f we do come to a long term deal then look for a rookie at LT, a vet OG and a rookie RG. Affordable and doable with this draft. That LT tho lol hard to pretend that's going to be easy

He’s coming off his rookie deal, he needs that $14mil.

And I'm fine with that within reason. Dude is going to get paid. We still need to make a good decision and figure out if it is a one year window or 4ish.

$14.5M is the tag number for OL this year.

Moton is coming off a 4-year, $4.15M contract. From $1M to $14M in a single season.

He's worth every bit of it and probably should be the highest paid OT when it's all said and done.

Don't be obtuse. The tag doesn't carry the weight it did. Players have sat and won the stare down recently. I haven't heard any indications that will happen but it is possible until he says it's cool.

Do you really believe there's even a minuscule sliver of a chance he'd "stare down" the tag?

No idea. I don't think so but the desire to test the market or for a large guarantee is standard. It's up to him. I sure hope we can get at least a tag year if not 4.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
