Moton was set to play on the franchise tag this season, but he and the Panthers managed to get a long-term deal done before Tuesday's 4 PM EST deadline. Moton is PFF's ninth-ranked OT heading into 2021. He hasn't missed a start in three seasons for Carolina. Moton excelled at pass blocking early in his career and had his best showing as a run blocker last season. He is an important piece in a strong Panthers supporting cast as they attempt to resurrect the career of QB Sam Darnold.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Carolina Panthers are placing the franchise tag on OT Taylor Moton. the number is expected to be between $13.5 and $14 million.

With the franchise tag deadline coming today and the lack of high-level tackles at the position in free agency, the Panthers made a smart move by bringing back Moton. The deal will likely cost the Panthers between $13.5 and $14 million in terms of a cap hit this season. The veteran tackle started and played all 16 games last season, he was graded as PFF's 13th best tackle.
