Getting tagged The Panthers are giving Moton a franchise tag, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Impact The 2017 second-round pick has played all 16 games in each of his four NFL seasons, making 47 starts at right tackle and one on the blindside. He's earned a PFF grade of 76.2 or better each year as a starter, likely playing his way into a contract near $20 million per season. The Panthers reportedly plan to use the franchise tag as a bridge to negotiate a long-term deal, hoping to lock in Moton beyond 2021.
