David Moore: Everything you need to know

Moore agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract to remain with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Moore caught just one pass across four regular-season appearances in 2025. The depth wide receiver will likely reprise his role as an emergency option in 2026. Moore's deal is likely another one-year term around the league minimum, with additional money tied to incentives.

Moore caught his lone target for five yards across four regular-season appearances during the 2025 season. After posting a 32-351-3 receiving line on 57 targets across all 17 regular-season contests, including five starts, during the 2024 campaign, Moore was relegated to strict reserve duties this season. Now 31 years old, Moore is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month.

Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Carolina's wild-card matchup versus the Rams on Saturday. Moore was just activated off injured reserve earlier in the week but will nonetheless be held out of Saturday's game. Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker and Xavier Leggette should continue to serve as the team's top receivers against Los Angeles, while Moore will look to suit up next week should the Panthers advance to the divisional round.
