The Carolina Panthers have officially re-signed wide receiver David Moore along with safety Isaiah Simmons and outside linebacker Thomas Incoom. This roster update came as the team waived defensive tackle Popo Aumave.
Background on David Moore’s NFL Journey
David Moore, 31, was originally drafted in the seventh round out of East Central by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017. After signing a four-year rookie contract worth $2.48 million, he was waived when Seattle cut its squad to 53 players. Moore returned to Seattle on a one-year exclusive rights free agent deal in 2019 before joining the Panthers with a two-year contract valued at $4.75 million.
Following his time in Carolina, Moore had playing stints with the Raiders, Broncos, and Bears. Most recently, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked him up in May 2023, where he primarily remained on their practice squad. In December, Moore was promoted to their active roster.
Moore’s Recent Performance and New Contract
For the 2024 season, Moore signed another one-year contract valued at $1.1 million with the Panthers. He appeared in four games last season with Carolina, recording one reception for five yards. The Panthers’ decision to bring Moore back reflects their interest in retaining experienced talent for the upcoming campaign.
Impact and Future Outlook
Re-signing Moore, Simmons, and Incoom indicates Carolina’s strategy to maintain depth and continuity in key positions as the team prepares for the new season. Removing Popo Aumave from the roster reflects ongoing adjustments ahead of training camp and the NFL regular season.
