Beckham is an injury waiting to happen, and hasn't played a down of football in 25 months.

Would be insane to offer him anything more than a 1y prove-it deal.

25 months?

Pretty sure I saw him score a TD in the SB in Feb 2022....14 months ago

It’s a loss value wise. No matter how you slice it and throw Hardman in there.

 

We just traded a guy that’s not even 23 yet that we drafted 34th overall and had under a rookie contract for 2 years for the equivalent of an early 3rd rounder and a 25yr old WR that can make as much as 6.5mill.

 

That’s a loss.

 

And to go a step further…. If we trade a 2nd and a conditional pick for AR.

 

We in essence traded away Moore a 3rd rounder and a conditional pick for AR.

Wait……again Aaron Rodgers for E Moore a 3rd and a conditional pick is a bad thing? This is Aaron effing Rodgers….don’t care if he’s 39 he can still spin it and will be best Jets QB in their history by a mile.

WR room is pretty trash outside of Wilson 

Will take Allen Lazard 100 times out of 100 over the selfish dog.

Everyone kept saying that Moore wasn't going to get traded, but it just felt like this one was inevitable. Given how the Jets are trying to build their WR room, I didn't see a scenario where Moore would get a second contract with us when his deal was up with all that money going to Garrett Wilson. Now the Jets will have a 2nd round pick at their disposal to invest in one of the draft's top centers while also giving them the ability to add OBJ if that's the road they choose to go down. 

As it stands: 

1. Garrett Wilson 
2. Allen Lazard 
3. Mecole Hardman
4. Denzel Mims 
5. Randall Cobb (soon) 

needing a true slot

Well the problem with this math is that we also lost a 3rd ..right ?

Yea the 3rd is gone. A 2nd this year and a potential 2nd next year doesn’t involve a 3rd this year tho. 
 

Unrelated note, but hardman just plays on the outside I think right? Who’s the slot receiver? Garrett Wilson now? Davis and Lazard are also outside receivers

If you are down on him I'd say a 3rd, but I wouldn't have traded him for that. I would have held the asset and let it appreciate in value.

So then it was a good trade value wise?

Hopkins is nearly washed too.  Almost 31.

I'd rather draft JSN.

Personally I think his upside is AB levels. Not a high likely hood he’ll reach it, but he has talent. Dude has all the tools but is an egomaniac. He gets open with ease. MLF just seemed to have it out for him. The trash at qb didn’t help either 

I mean Garrett Wilson didn’t seem to have a problem despite all the issues at QB.  The biggest issue with Moore last year was well…Moore.  That’s why his value dropped

He'll turn 31 in November and hasn't played a down of football in 25 months.

On the MaimLife turf, they'd be lucky if he makes it to October unscathed.

Again, he’s a 22 y/o kid. You capping his potential at 3rd option slot receiver is laughable. Just because some fans may overrate his potential doesn’t mean you have to offset that by downplaying his talent. You sound like you personally dislike the guy.

Yeah, I do dislike him.

I think a good portion of the fanbase does.

Dogging your routes, bitching out your coaches and demanding a trade during a winning streak isn’t exactly endearing to fans.

We literally just signed a dude today who is still only 25, is one of the fastest players in the league and has put up better production than Moore ever had prior to getting hurt last season. And there’s still the possibility that they bring in a guy like OBJ or someone else on top of that.

I’m not going to wax poetic about a guy who was acting like a douchebag and produced little more than the minimum during his time here.

Wish it would’ve worked out better, but it didn’t.

Now we move on with Rodgers and what is still bound to be one of the better WR corps in the league.

I think it must have been MLF. I read somewhere that Moore was in the top of the league with most routes ran with the least amount of targets. If he’s the 4th option on every play which seems to be the case then he’ll rarely get the ball

[Guilhermezmc]

Jaxon Smith Njigba reminds me of Amon-ra St. Brown, would not be a bad pickup.

Not a fan of the tackles in this draft besides Skoronski and I don't think he'll be there at 13

Eh Moore wasn’t good either.  Its easy to blame MLF or the QB but Moore also wasn’t doing well like he did his rookie year plus the selfish antics

my bad

It's still a big risk.  He'll be 31.

Most WRs are completely washed by age 32.   Look it up.  Some fall off a cliff sooner.  You never know.

Deshaun Watson looked like trash last season after his layoff.

He is capping him at 3rd option slot receiver because every time he played on the outside or he ran a deep route he was blanketed and never open.....it's weird when people like you always accuse people of hating or making things personal when the criticism is strictly from on the field performance...you guys did the same thing with Z Wilson.

He was productive as a rookie with every non-ZW QB.

Year 3 is the breakout season for a lot of WRs.

Exactly…..think Rodgers will put up with this kid dogging it and rounding out his routes due to lack of targets? No chance 

[HighPitch]

I hate the trade.

first i loved it thinking a second for moore. Then i realized we lost a third.

so for moore we moved up from rd 3 to 2

no likey

Would you be shocked if Moore gets 800+ yards this year and 5+ tds? I wouldn’t 

[JETS SB]

We will likely swap out Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, and Braxton Berrios for Allen Lazard, OBJ, and Mecole Hardman, while obtaining Aaron Rodgers, and we will continue to have miserable Jets fans complaining about trade compensation for Elijah Moore. Amazing. 

[BigRy56]

If OBJ is signed to replace Moore while the 2nd we traded him for is sent to GB along with Corey Davis, while the Jets keep their 1st and 2nd round picks this year…. this is an incredibly good sequence of events for JD. Let’s hope it plays out this way

Dude cried about touches during a 5 game win streak. **** him. 

 

I surely don’t like him, but his talent as #2 WR with Rodgers could have been enormous for the passing game.  After they cut or trade Davis, Lazard is the #2.  An undrafted free agent who has 1 season out of 5 with over 520 yards, all with a HOF QB.  Its a step back.

Moore sucked last year that’s the bottom.  Maybe he bounces back who know but just blaming everybody but him is not accurate.  Plus his baby antics putting himself above the team isn’t really endearing.  I like pad him in rookie year but that went to sh*t his second year

Maybe he does but maybe he doesn’t. At the end of the day his crappy play and attitude led to this.  Nobody to blame but Moore himself 

[JetsFlyer]

GW and SG are the new faces of the franchise.  Moore didnt like it...  2nd goes to GB  ..lets roll

Lazard was targeted 100 times in 15 games last year by Rodgers,  38th in targets per game in the NFL.  If you don't think he's going to be 2nd on the team in targets and yards in 2023 you're crazy. He wasn't handpicked by Rodgers to come here to be a blocker.
