Carolina Panthers fans were jubilant when the team extended veteran right tackle Taylor Moton ahead of time. He's one of the most durable and consistent performers around, and there was nobody more deserving of another financial commitment from the franchise.
This gives Moton the chance to finish his career where it all started. The former Western Michigan standout was a beacon of hope as all around him crumbled during Carolina's plunge to rock bottom under previous regimes. Now, things are looking up, so it was only right for the Panthers to reward him accordingly.
Repaying this faith is crucial.
