Taylor Moton

The connection between the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers has been undeniable since Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane stepped into their roles with the Bills. Over the years, they have brought in a number of former Carolina Panthers players but they have typically been older veterans.

However, that is not the case for Taylor Moton as he is one of the rising stars at the right tackle position.

Moton was a second round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2017 and as a rookie primarily stayed on the sideline due to the Panthers having Daryl Williams at right tackle. However, an injury to Williams opened the door for Moton to become the starter in 2018 and he has remained in that role the past three seasons.

He is only going to be 27 years old at the start of the season and is going to be a long-term answer for any team at the right tackle position. A player of his caliber, at this point in his career, likely means he is going to have plenty of suitors and should get a big contract.

While the Buffalo Bills would certainly be interested in Taylor Moton, and he certainly would be an upgrade, they likely won’t have the necessary cap space to get a deal done.
