Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has expressed frustration with the team’s latest roster moves, specifically the decision to bring back veteran receiver David Moore on a one-year deal.
Legette’s Concerns About His Future in Carolina
Legette, a 2024 second-round pick out of South Carolina, was expected to be a key part of the Panthers’ long-term plans. However, after the team re-signed Moore, Legette hinted that he may not see a future in Carolina anymore.
“I want to be somewhere I can develop and make an impact,” Legette said. “I know my potential, and I want to be in a place where I can maximize it.”
Why Legette Wants Out
Sources close to the situation say Legette is unhappy with:
•A Crowded Wide Receiver Room – With Moore returning alongside Adam Thielen and other additions, Legette feels his role could be reduced.
•Lack of Offensive Stability – The Panthers struggled on offense last season, and uncertainty at quarterback has made it difficult for receivers to thrive.
•Desire for a Bigger Role – As a young player, Legette reportedly wants more opportunities to showcase his talent, something he feels could be limited in Carolina.
What’s Next for Legette?
While Legette has not officially requested a trade, his comments suggest he may be open to leaving Carolina if the right opportunity arises. The Panthers’ front office has yet to respond, but with the draft approaching, teams in need of a young, explosive receiver may start calling.
