Wide receiver Elijah Moore has requested a trade from the New York Jets. The 22-year-old receiver seems to be frustrated by his lack of involvement in the Jets’ offense. Currently standing at 4-2, the Jets most recently beat the Green Bay Packers 27-10. The receiver’s tweet after the game sent out some mixed signals. The tweet was later deleted.

More drama ensued when Moore was excused from practice on Thursday due to a personal issue. Even prior to his zero-target game against the Packers, the receiver’s numbers have been consistently low. Week five’s single catch on four targets and 15 passes for 192 yards in the first four games seemed rather low.
