TRADE: Browns Trading For Jets WR Elijah Moore

March 22, 2023

According to Adam Schefter, the Browns are trading for Jets WR Elijah Moore.

Ian Rapoport adds the Browns will send their second-round pick at No. 42 to the Jets for Moore and a third-round at pick No. 74.

This came together pretty quickly after the Jets signed another slot receiver, Mecole Hardman, to a one-year deal.

Moore had a rough 2022 season and was impacted by the Jets’ struggles on offense. He got so frustrated he requested a trade midseason but the Jets held onto him at the time.

As for the Browns, Moore should be a big upgrade as they potentially look at becoming more pass-heavy in 2023 with QB Deshaun Watson.

Moore, 22, was a three-year starter at Ole Miss and a first-team All-SEC selection in 2020 when the Jets drafted him with pick No. 34 overall in the second round of the 2021 draft.

Moore signed a four-year deal worth $8,940,427 million with a $3,862,129 million signing bonus.

In 2022, Moore appeared in 16 games for the Jets and caught 37 passes on 65 targets for 446 yards receiving and one touchdown.
