Adam Thielen

The Panthers changed course at wide receiver midway through last season, trading both Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo before the deadline.

The Panthers' wide receiver room still needs help. While last year's first-rounder Xavier Legette prepares to enter his second season, the Panthers' current WR2, Adam Thielen, prepares for his 12th year. McMillan, who is considered by many to be the top receiver in this year's draft class, would give the Panthers a big, versatile receiver on the outside who could immediately contribute in three-receiver sets. Currently holding the No. 8 overall pick in this year's draft, there's a good chance McMillan will be on the board when the Panthers are on the clock next month.

Moore had a career season in 2024, managing a 32/351/3 receiving line after last being targeted more than 40 times in 2020. The veteran enters his age-30 season as Carolina's No. 4 receiver behind Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker. It's possible that the Panthers will draft a receiver and give him even more roster spot competition. Moore has the special teams chops to hang on the back of a 53-man roster if needed, so this seems like a signing without any real downside for Carolina.
