“BITTERSWEET for me!”: Jets WR Elijah Moore makes SHOCKING trade request frustrated at the lack of game time

Elijah Moore

Wide receiver Elijah Moore was drafted by the New York Jets in the 34th round of the 2021 NFL draft and hasn’t spent even a year with the team. However, he’s already planning to leave them due to the lack of opportunities given to him.

The Jets have had their best start to a season since 2015 going at 4-2. But this has resulted in Elijah Moore not featuring as much as he would like to as he’s currently the team’s fifth preference behind rookie running back Breece Hall and tight end Tyler Conklin.

Elijah Moore took to Twitter after a disappointing performance against the Green Bay Packers to express his frustration over not being given enough play time and said that he will try not to be selfish. The wide receiver is the second New York Jets player this season to hand in a trade request following Denzel Mims.

“If I say what I really wanna say, I’ll be the selfish guy. We winning. Grateful! Huge blessing! All I ever wanted.(Bittersweet) for me, but I’ll be solid. So I’ll just stay quiet. Just know I don’t understand, either,” Elijah Moore wrote.

However, according to reports from CBS Sports‘ Jonathan Jones, the New York Jets will not be entertaining this trade request. Additionally, OC Mike LaFleur and QB Zach Wilson have said that the reason for Moore not featuring much is that they are focusing on the running attack.

“We want those guys to be ultracompetitive and want the ball,” said Offensive Coordinator LaFleur. “We’re going to do what we feel is best to score points and win football games and he’s a big part of that.”

“It’s not a thing where I’m trying to avoid him or whatever it is, because he’s a great player,” Wilson said. “I’m just going through my progressions. We’re always talking about routes, how we can clean things up every week. It’s being patient and trusting the process. I only had 10 completions last week, but we won the game, so it’s awesome. I love him, and I hope he understands he’s special to our team.”
