Wide receiver David Moore beat the Seattle Seahawks to the punch when he posted on Instagram on Sunday that he had signed his restricted free agent tender. The team confirmed the signing on Wednesday afternoon.
Moore was originally selected by the Seahawks at No. 226 overall in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL draft out East Central University in Oklahoma. He spent the majority of his rookie year on the practice squad before emerging as a target in 2018, when he started seven games.
Last season for Seattle, Moore logged 17 receptions for 301 yards and two touchdowns.
Moore will continue to compete for the No. 3 receiver spot behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf likely battling with newly-signed receiver Phillip Dorsett.
The Seahawks may very well look to the NFL draft to add more weapons to quarterback Russell Wilson’s arsenal. The completely virtual event kicks off Thursday night at 5:00 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and the NFL Network.
