Moore was not at practice on Thursday which caught some attention following a series of tweets expressing his frustration with his current situation. It seemed to simmer down when the Jets referred to his absence as a personal day for a family matter, which blew up in their face once reports came out on Thursday evening of Moore’s trade request.

In 2022, Moore has made 16 receptions on 29 targets for 203 yards in six games this season. With him out of the picture, it gives an opportunity for Denzel Mims, Braxton Berrios, or Jeff Smith to become the team’s WR3.
