The Carolina Panthers don't appear to be making a swap ahead of today's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline . . . at least in the traditional sense.

But they are seemingly making room for wideout Xavier Legette, who is expected to return to practice this week. To potentially help clear up a spot on the roster, the team announced that they've released fellow receiver David Moore.

Moore, a 10th-year veteran, has crossed paths with Panthers head coach Dave Canales through three different NFL stops. Prior to Carolina, the two shared the sidelines with the Seattle Seahawks from 2017 to 2020 and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023—when Canales served as an offensive coordinator.

Carolina used Moore primarily on special teams here in 2026, as he's fielded four punts for 31 yards and eight kickoffs for 168 yards. He's also recorded one catch for 27 yards.
