According to Tom Pelissero, the NFL is suspending S Tre’von Moehrig one game without pay for his punch to the groin of 49ers WR Jauan Jennings.
This does not come as a big surprise given the NFL’s emphasis on sportsmanship this year. Two players have been suspended for spitting on opponents and Moehrig’s actions were arguably worse.
Moehrig has the right to appeal his suspension but it will probably be upheld.
Pelissero adds Jennings’ actions will be reviewed for a fine but he won’t be suspended. He found Moehrig after the game and threw a punch.
Moehrig, 26, was a second-round pick to the Raiders out of TCU in the 2021 draft. He signed a four-year, $7.9 million rookie deal through 2024 and made a base salary of $3.36 million in 2024.
He was an unrestricted free agent this offseason and signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Panthers and is making a base salary of $1.17 million in 2025.
In 2025, Moehrig has appeared in 12 games for the Panthers and recorded 81 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, one sack, two passes defended and an interception.
