David Moore will remain in Carolina for 2025. The veteran receiver has agreed to a one-year Panthers deal, the team announced on Tuesday. 
Moore began his career with the Seahawks, and he spent time with Panthers head coach Dave Canales during that time. The pair also worked together in 2023, when Canales operated as the Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator. Moore followed Canales to Carolina last offseason, giving him a familiar face during his rookie head coaching campaign.
As the Panthers looked to field their best combination of receivers during the year, Moore wound up logging five starts and a 55% snap share. That represented the second-largest workload of his career, and 30-year-old produced 351 yards and three touchdowns on 32 receptions. For his career, Moore sports a 14.0 yards-per-catch average.
The former seventh-rounder has experience on special teams, and he will likely spend more time handling third phase duties if Carolina’s other wideouts take on a larger offensive role. Adam Thielen – who has been a focal point in the passing game during his two Panthers seasons – will play in 2025 on a restructured deal. 2024 first-rounder Xavier Legette also figures to see plenty of usage next season.
The Panthers also have veteran special teamer Dan Chisena in place after he re-signed last week, along with Jalen Coker (who flashed potential as an undrafted rookie last year). Carolina could very well look to the draft to add at the receiver position, but Moore will again have a role with the team in 2025.
