Tre’Von Moehrig inking a rich deal with the Carolina Panthers was one of many departure dominos to fall on Monday, providing a jarring punch to the the Raiders’ jaw on the opening day of the free agent frenzy. Moehrig was taken in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft and, after a trio of middling seasons, came into his own and blossomed in in 2024 (his contract year, no les) as a safety who could drop in the box to be an enforcer and be reliable in coverage on the back end.
