3 key takeaways from Panthers WR D.J. Moore’s contract extension

What are some key takeaways from Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore’s four-year contract extension?

On one of the most dramatic NFL afternoons in recent memory. the Carolina Panthers got a deal done with wide receiver D.J. Moore. The former first-round pick has been the one shining light on offense over the last two seasons and was rewarded with a bumper four-year contract that also frees up some additional funds for the upcoming 2022 campaign.

Moore has gone over 1,000 receiving yards for three straight years now. This is in spite of some less than spectacular quarterback play and the Panthers can now count on the wideout’s services in the long term.

This decision was widely approved by the team’s fanbase, who have taken to Moore thanks to his personable nature and ability to make a difference where it matters most. He has long been regarded as one of the league’s most underappreciated wideouts and will now try and help Carolina emerge from obscurity next season and beyond.

Without further ado, here are three key takeaways from Moore’s new contract with the Panthers.

Key Takeaway No. 1

Carolina Panthers get a solid deal for D.J. Moore

According to multiple reports, D.J. Moore’s deal comes with $41.6 million in guarantees. Not exactly bottom-of-the-barrel money, but considering what other wide receivers who aren’t nearly as good are getting paid in the current financial climate, this represents tremendous value for the Carolina Panthers and gives the player a sense of financial security he richly deserves.

Moore is the type of player that quietly goes about his business. Even when quarterbacks and the coaches were not utilizing him in the right way, he never complained – just getting on with the job in a professional manner.

This is a win-win for all parties. And now the Panthers can focus their attention on maximizing Moore’s chances of taking that next step into the elite category.
