The 2017 Seattle Seahawks class turned out to be a pretty strong group, despite the fact that the group’s top team, Malik McDowell, never played for the Hawks. That said, third-round selection Shaquill Griffin did a Pro Bowl and earlier this week agreed to a lucrative three-year contract with Jacksonville Jaguars, and on Thursday, seventh-round wide receiver David Moore found a new home as well. .
For the #Panthers and WR David Moore, is a two-year deal worth $ 4.75 million with $ 1.25 million guaranteed, per source. A meeting with GM Scott Fitterer, who was with Moore in Seattle, and an opportunity to take on a bigger role.

So Moore, who initially received an original bidding round as a restricted free agent in the off-season, only to agree to a pay cut on the eve of the season to ensure he would stay around is now set to sign with the Carolina Panthers. Moore becomes the second selection of the Hawks’ seventh round to sign with Carolina this offseason, following Stephen Sullivan’s signing with the Panthers.
With Moore and Griffin already finding new homes, only Ethan Pocic and Chris Carson remain in the 2017 recruiting class, and both may end up elsewhere in the next few days as well.
