The Carolina Panthers have achieved almost nothing since Taylor Moton joined the franchise. But amid all the doom and gloom, the stud right tackle emerged as a beacon of positivity and consistency in equal measure.
And now, the realization that this could potentially be his last year in Carolina is starting to hit home.
Moton is entering the final year of his deal. He didn't get an early extension or a contract restructure. He is the team's highest salary-cap hit by a considerable margin at $31.34 million. But the Panthers' decision-makers seem happy to adopt a wait-and-see approach before deciding on further action.
