Overview

  • The contract includes $40 million guaranteed and runs through the 2027 season.
  • Carolina announced the extension Friday following initial reporting by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • The agreement reduces a projected 2025 cap charge that had exceeded $31 million and removes the chance of a free-agent departure next spring.
  • With Moton re-upped, the Panthers have all five starting offensive linemen under contract at least through 2026.
  • The ninth-year right tackle, 31, has started 113 of 129 games for Carolina, with last year’s three-game absence ending his long consecutive-starts streak.
