It was only a matter of when, not if, the Carolina Panthers were going to pay DJ Moore. And, boy, did they ever. - On Friday afternoon, the team announced a three-year extension for their top wideout. According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Moore will earn $61.884 million over those three seasons with a full guarantee of $41.61 million. - The deal will add on to the receiver’s fifth-year option, bringing his contract through the 2025 season. In total, the pact will pay Moore $73 million over four years. - On an annual basis, the deal will average out to $20.628 million. That salary, remarkably enough, lowers his cap number down for the team as they continue to fill out their roster. - Additionally, his $20.6-million yearly average would him the third-highest paid player at the position, according to Over The Cap. Moore’s future number is topped only by new Las Vegas Raider Davante Adams ($28.2 million per year) and Arizona’s DeAndre Hopkins ($27.2 million). - - RelatedPanthers expected to sign DT Matt IoannidisHere's why Deshaun Watson didn't want to go to the Panthers - - List - - Best of the Panthers at 2022 NFL Honors - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Panthers Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Panthers Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
