Jets WR Elijah Moore won’t play vs. Broncos following trade request

Elijah Moore wants out of Florham Park. The second-year wide receiver, with the Jets on a three-game win streak, is unhappy with his role. He earned zero targets in Sunday’s win over the Packers and feels that somehow warrants a trade.

The Jets don’t want to move Moore, who they just drafted in the second round out of Ole Miss in 2021. But some discipline is seemingly in order.

Head coach Robert Saleh announced Friday that Moore won’t play in Sunday’s road game against the Broncos. Denzel Mims will take his place on the active roster.
