Elijah Moore was supposed to be a long-term answer for the New York Jets at wide receiver. The Ole Miss product had 1193 yards on 86 catches with 8 touchdowns in the shortened 2020 SEC season and the Jets used the 34th overall pick on him in the 2021 draft.

But, he’s been up-and-down. After a very slow start last year, he had 18 catches for 264 yards in 3 touchdowns in his last three games last year, and was expected to do big things this year. But, he only has 16 catches for 203 yards without a touchdown this year, despite New York being a surprising 4-2. Now, Moore wants a change of scenery less than 20 games into his career.

Elijah Moore requested a trade

Moore made a shocking trade request Thursday.

Of course, the key part of that is that the Jets have no intention to trade him.

Still, people were rubbed the wrong way by the request.

It’s further proof that things can never be too good for the New York Jets.
