Following Elijah Moore's trade request, should the New York Jets consider moving the talented former second-round pick?

Moore has a world of talent, but the combination of his lackluster production and me-first approach to this situation will not make him easy to trade. The Jets can only hope that they are able to resolve the situation and move on. The Jets can scour the market for a coverage safety or linebacker (such as Roquan Smith) that Moore can be traded for. If Douglas and Saleh do indeed decide that pulling the plug is necessary to maintain the team’s culture, this may be the steepest test yet for Douglas. The question is if there’s a receiver available who’s worth trading Moore for. Moore was the No. Moore’s quiet start to the 2022 season has significantly diminished his trade value. It shows a level of selfishness and a diva nature that is antithetical to what the Jets want on their team. The Jets thought that Moore was part of that. However, requesting a trade due to a lack of personal numbers when the team is riding high is anything but high character. On Thursday, the situation rapidly escalated when Moore missed practice for a personal day. The former second rounder was targeted once in the win over the [#Packers], but the play was negated by a penalty.

He was a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss. On Thursday, Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters that Moore was excused from practice due to a personal issue that involved his family and would be spending time with them. Following the game, Moore sent out a tweet that read: "If I say what I really wanna say …

The second-year receiver is not happy about his usage by the team this season.

[related to his usage on the field](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34839826/frustrated-jets-wr-elijah-moore-excused-practice). Meantime, the Jets have relied more on their running game behind the play of rookie Breece Hall, who has 213 rushing yards on 38 attempts over those same two games. Saleh told reporters Thursday that Moore was granted a “personal day” and that he needed the day because of a family issue. Moore is competing for targets in a receivers group that includes Braxton Berrios, Corey Davis and Garrett Wilson. I love him, and I hope he understands he’s special to our team.” [has requested a trade](https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1583206556052918272). Moore’s trade request seems to stem from his lack of targets and production, despite the Jets (4-2) riding a three-game winning streak and posting their best start since 2015.

I’ll be the selfish guy … That figure ranks first among the team’s wide receivers, according to In his rookie season, he appeared in 11 games and started six, recording 43 receptions for 538 yards and five touchdown catches while averaging 12.5 yards per reception.

It’s just being patient and trusting the process. However, he has just 16 receptions for 203 yards without a score. So I’ll just stay quiet Just know I don’t understand either.”

El receptor mostró su molestia y el enojo fue tal que tuvo que dejar las instalaciones para que se calmaran los ánimos.

La solicitud de Elijah Moore fue reportada primero por NFL Network, y se dio el día en que fue regresado a casa, el equipo señaló que fue “un día personal”. Escaló a un punto en el que Robert Saleh y el coordinador ofensivo, Mike LaFleur, creyeron que lo mejor sería que Moore dejara las instalaciones para que sus emociones –y las suyas- se calmaran.

Although Moore is the only wide receiver on the Jets' roster who has been in the starting lineup for all six games, he is sixth on the team in catches. Moore ...

Of course, plans can change: If the Jets get a good enough offer, they would surely trade him. This year he has 16 catches for 203 yards and no touchdowns. According to a new report if it were up to him, Moore would never be at Jets practice again.

With the Tennessee Titans needing help at wide receiver, should they make a play for New York Jets WR Elijah Moore?

That’s something that should intrigue someone like Mike Vrabel, someone who clearly values a player’s ability to help the team out in multiple ways. Therefore, at minimum, you’d would have to imagine they’d want something somewhat equivalent to that investment in return Also, after seeing 21 targets throughout the first three games of the 2022 season, Moore’s target share plummeted down to just eight the last three. Brown, after their bitter breakup earlier this offseason? Both parties need to figure this out! As of this moment, the answer to all of that is likely a resounding no, but that doesn’t mean the 22-year old receiver wouldn’t eventually embrace a promising place like Tennessee as his new home. Again, as I stated earlier, the only way you can justify this type of move if you’re the Titans is if you genuinely have an unwavering belief that your culture would be able to satisfy Moore, both on and off the field. From Week 8 to 13, Moore tallied 34 catches for 459 yards and five touchdowns. Nonetheless, the only way the Titans can justify a move of that caliber is by having an emphatic belief that they’ll be able to maximize Moore’s abilities to the point that he becomes an integral part of their long-term plans as well. If the Titans were to make a move for the young wideout, they would have to make sure that they’re confident in their own capabilities to maximize Moore’s talents to their fullest potential. Re Elijah Moore…definitely not the best look asking for a trade while your team is playing winning football. The part that’s hard to stomach for Jets fans is the fact that this outburst is happening during the Jets’ most promising start since the peak of the Rex Ryan era.

Moore arrived last season as a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft. As a rookie he played in 11 games, with 43 catches for 538 yards and five touchdowns.

This year he has 16 catches for 203 yards and no touchdowns. As a rookie he played in 11 games, with 43 catches for 538 yards and five touchdowns. [Jets gave Moore the day off](https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/10/20/elijah-moore-not-practicing-with-jets-thursday/) yesterday, even though he was fully healthy, as he and the team continue to be at odds about his usage in the offense.

The focus for the New York Jets should have been solely on getting another win this week. Instead, Elijah Moore made it all about himself.

Perhaps Moore will wake up on Friday and realize he’s made a mistake, apologize publicly, and work to rebuild his standing with the team. He might complete the heel turn, go full Jamal Adams and try to blaze his way is way out of town. But he also explained that the reason Moore hasn’t been getting the ball much in recent weeks – he wasn’t targeted in the win over the Packers – is because the Jets have committed to the run. But he also seemed to have a hard time understanding how Moore could be so upset when the team was winning – because he kept mentioning that. After enduring years and years of awful football, the Jets (4-2) are off to their best start since 2015, and Moore decided this was the perfect time to self-destruct over his usage in the offense. Wilson threw only 20 passes against the Dolphins and 19 against the Packers. One of the posts foreshadowed the tumult he was about to unleash on the organization. Even before the trade request, quarterback Zach Wilson was asked repeatedly about Moore on Thursday. “We love him; I know how important he is to this team,” Wilson said when asked what he could do about Moore’s frustration. Seriously, it’s impossible to defend Moore in this situation. Coach Robert Saleh told reporters at practice that Moore had been excused from practice to deal with a personal matter involving his family. But by the end of the day, it would be loaded with meaning.

NY Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has formally requested a trade. His request is ...

The Jets are unhappy with Moore's decision to make a public trade request. Elijah Moore's trade request feels like a bizarre overreaction to an issue that could have been kept in-house. Make so much noise that the team has to trade him. The Jets have used Moore as a downfield decoy to open up the intermediate passing game for guys like Corey Davis and Garrett Wilson. The Jets have spread the ball around a ton — it's not as if Moore has been an afterthought. The most likely short-term outcome will see Moore left as a healthy scratch on Sunday. Moore is right to have his qualms. The former second-round pick has just 16 catches through six games and has often been deployed as a decoy to help clear out the middle of the field. [NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported later that day](https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1583206556052918272) that Moore had formally requested a trade from the organization, but that the Jets had no intentions of honoring that request. He's a 22-year-old wideout in the second year of his rookie contract with just 17 games under his belt. Moore was absent from Thursday's practice for what head coach Robert Saleh referred to as a "personal day." Moore has played more snaps than any Jets wide receiver this year.

He's prepared himself to play and he's going to get an opportunity." "He's been putting in his work, he's been running the scout team," Saleh said of Mims. "It's just a matter of continuing to work and trust the direction that we're going. And it's just a matter of being able to stack together a couple good days and let the ball roll from there." "He wants to contribute," Saleh said. "We all love Elijah," he said.

The 2022-23 season brought heightened expectations for both Moore and the Jets but New York has since updated its gameplan in recent weeks. The NFL’s trade deadline is on Tuesday, November 1st at 4 pm – ET. The return of Zach Wilson from his preseason knee injury brought about a philosophical change in New York.
