Carolina Panthers Extended Right Tackle Taylor Moton Through The 2027 Season
He’s not the type of guy that has received a lot of fanfare throughout his career. In fact, you may have not ever heard of him despite being one of the best at his position. But his team certainly knows who he is and what he’s capable of doing. That’s why the Carolina Panthers extended their right tackle Taylor Moton through the 2027 season. By doing the extension, the Panthers have given themselves the ability to bring most of the same offensive line back for a third consecutive season.
They picked up the fifth-year option on left tackle Ikem Ekwonu for 2026. And now they have their guy who really wanted to stay in the city with the team. He made some emotional comments about staying with the team saying:
“I had some of my best years here in Carolina,” he said. “I know we haven’t won. But the city, being a Panther, means a lot to me, so it’s crazy. You don’t know. Obviously I want the years to continue, but if it’s my last year here, I want to be my best year. I want it to be the offensive line’s best year, the offensive unit’s best year, the team’s best year, do whatever I can to. Have us be our best yet, so I’m a little emotional about it.
“All the blood, all the sweat, all the tears, right? I’ve been through so much here; being a Panther means a lot to me. The city means a lot to me. I found my family here, I found my son here, you know? So much sacrifice has gone out on the football field, the practice field here at Bank of America Stadium.”

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Friday details of the deal. Moton’s deal is worth $44 million and includes $40 million guaranteed. The veteran’s new $22 million APY is tied for fourth among right tackles with Green Bay’s Zach Tom. Moton wrapped up his comments by stating:
“I put so much time, so much heart into it, right? So it’s just crazy, you know, but at the end of the day, focused on finishing this out the right way. If it is, obviously I said I have some good years left, but I have a deep passion for this city, for this organization, for all the guys in the locker room, all the staff, everyone involved in making this thing go.”
Moton has put up excellent stats since he joined the league in 2017. According to Pro Football Focus stats, he was among the top 20 tackles in the league last year. He committed one penalty. He gave up a single sack. In eight seasons, he’s allowed just 16 sacks. Clearly Moton earned his extension and we wish him a hearty congratulations!
