Moore request a trade midway through his second season with the Jets in 2022.

The Jets traded the former No. 34 draft pick to the Browns but now have a second, second-round pick at their disposal.

As mentioned, the Jets will miss Moore, but they still have plenty of talent at the receiver position. The acquisition of Moore was one that will help the Browns immensely. The Jets sent Moore to the Browns along with the 74th overall pick in the draft. Ultimately, this deal should help the Jets in their quest to land Rodgers. However, Cleveland is also acquiring a receiver who will only be 23 by the start of the 2023 season. New York and Cleveland will swap 2023 draft picks as a part of the deal.

The Browns have sent their second-round pick to the New York Jets in order to acquire receiver Elijah Moore and a third-round pick.

In the 11 games he did play, he was targeted 77 times with 43 catches for 538 yards and five touchdowns. Those additions, a run-in with his coaches during last season, as well as 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson and the re-emergence of Corey Davis, all have played a role in Moore being available. David Bell struggled to get consistent targets as a rookie third-round pick out of Purdue, while injuries hampered the abilities of rookie Michael Woods II and second-year pro Anthony Schwartz to get on the field consistently a year ago.

Elijah Moore had been looking for a new home since the early stages of the 2022-23 season. The New York Jets have finally obliged the disgruntled youngster.

Their two second-round picks now are back-to-back and could be seen as part of a compensation deal for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Jets are also sending their 2023 third-round selection (74th overall) as a part of the deal. Elijah Moore had been looking for a new home since the early stages of the 2022-23 season.

That, combined with at least a tinge of desperation to add speed to their receiver group, led them to Moore, who should get lots of chances to make big plays in Cleveland. It was not a strong free-agent class at wide receiver, and the Browns kept multiple potential trades on their radar before landing on this deal for Moore.

In fact, 10 of Hardman's 16 receiving touchdowns came out of the slot, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. He also rushed for 31 yards and two touchdowns. A second-round pick in 2021, Moore was considered a key part of the Jets' foundation, especially after a promising rookie year (43 catches, 538 yards, 5 touchdowns). They replaced LaFleur with Nathaniel Hackett and made a splash last week by signing Moore's production improved over the second half of the season, but his overall numbers were disappointing -- 37 catches, 446 yards and one touchdown.

The New York Jets continue to make moves ahead of impending Rodgers deal, trading Elijah Moore to the Cleveland Browns for a 2023 NFL Draft pick swap.

Elijah Moore was a player that had heavy interest from the NFL in the 2021 NFL Draft and plenty of backing from the draft sphere. As the tweet below mentions, the Jets get pick 42 in the 2023 NFL Draft in the deal, and the Browns get Moore and pick 74 in this year’s draft. With an impending Aaron Rodgers deal awaiting them, the New York Jets continue to make moves.

El jugador de 25 años llega al equipo de Nueva York para reemplazar al receptor abierto, que se marcha rumbo a Cleveland Browns.

El ex Kansas City se une a un cuerpo de receptores renovado que también incluye al ex Green Bay Packer, Allen Lazard, quien acordó un contrato de cuatro años y 44 millones la semana pasada. Solo tuvo 22 recepciones, 254 yardas recibidas y un touchdown en los últimos 13 juegos de los Jets. Según NFL.com, el equipo de la Gran Manzana recibirá la selección de segunda ronda de los Browns (42 en general) en el draft de este año y enviará a Cleveland a su selección de tercera ronda (74 en general) por Moore, quien se mostró prometedor como novato en 2021 pero vio disminuido su papel la temporada pasada y solicitó un canje en octubre.

Moore was highly productive at the college level, particularly as a junior when he caught 86 passes, a program record, for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games. _The Athletic's _Dane Brugler ranked him as the sixth-best receiver of the draft class in his His season unfortunately ended after Week 12 due to a quad injury, and he struggled to replicate those numbers in his second season when he was targeted less frequently. Moore took 255 of 514 passing snaps (49 percent) in the slot that year. He's shown several glimpses of becoming a top wideout in his first two seasons and compiled 80 receptions on 142 targets for 984 yards and six touchdowns in his career. He clocked in at 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash at his pro day with Ole Miss in 2021, which led him to become the 34th overall pick by the Jets.

After the Jets agreed to sign Mecole Hardman on Wednesday, New York has made its receivers' room a little less crowded. And Cleveland has filled a key need.

But Moore caught just 37 passes for 446 yards with a touchdown. But he ended up staying with the team and was on the field for 66 percent of the team’s offensive snaps. Cleveland will send the No.

Coach Robert Saleh insisted Moore wouldn’t be traded and was a big part of what the Jets wanted to do on offense last season and in the future. Moore didn’t travel with the team to Denver for its victory in Week 7. 42 pick in this year’s draft to the Jets for Moore and the No. He became disgruntled due to a lack of pass-catching opportunities and asked to be dealt in October. Now they’re adding a downfield threat for Watson in Moore, who can play in the slot, backfield or line up outside. The Browns have agreed to send the No.

The Browns focused on defense to open free agency but adding speed at receiver remains an important offseason objective.

The Browns now have two picks in each of the third, fourth and fifth rounds. The Browns saw their options dwindling and saw the fit with the Jets as far as price and need, and the end result was a trade that made sense for both sides. Njoku had some big moments, and other players made occasional contributions, but the bulk of the big-down targets went to Cooper and Peoples-Jones.

But the reality was that the Browns’ cap situation, dearth of quality picks over the next two seasons and lack of strong options at No. The Browns aren’t going to be a three- and four-wide offense all the time, but they needed more downfield threats — and they were always looking for more explosion and quickness so that when Watson escapes the pocket, receivers can break off their original routes and force defenses to chase both the quarterback and his targets. The second is that almost everybody is looking for receivers with top-level speed and explosion, which is why the Browns were getting more desperate by the hour. Now, the Browns aren’t far from where they picked cornerback [Martin Emerson Jr.](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/martin-emerson-jr-7AP0b0IBnHXuBkQi/) at No. 34 overall; the Browns saw a player whose skill set fit their search criteria and who could not only be attained for a reasonable price but is just turning 23 and is under his team-friendly rookie contract for two more seasons.

Receivers, therefore, have to be on the same page at all times and willing to take the criticism that comes with playing alongside veterans. A trade like this for a player that is only 22 years old is a very clear message to the fanbase and the rest of the roster. Growing pains on the field won’t be accepted either – so is the life of a championship-contending football team. Instead, the Jets have swung for the fences, and are now as close to being a contending team as they have ever been. But requesting a trade in the middle of a three-game winning streak isn’t a good look for any player, let alone one not even two full seasons into his NFL career. Gang Green hasn’t been to the playoffs for 12 seasons and three separate rebuilds have come with little hope in sight from any of the plans.
