CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Cleveland Browns continue to make moves in the off season, with a new wide receiver coming our way.

The Browns are trading a draft pick for the New York Jets’ Elijah Moore, the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport originally reported, calling him a “new threat in Cleveland.”

FOX 8’s John Sabol says Moore is who the Browns have been looking for in this off season, after not landing a veteran receiver in free agency.

#Browns get that speedy, slot WR in Elijah Moore they’ve been looking for. He’s under contract for the next 2 years making less than $2M.

CLE gives up its 2nd Rd, #42 but gets #Jets’ 3rd Rd #74.
Moore gives them ‘more’ (no pun intended) than what they could’ve got in the draft.

The 22-year-old, who went to Ole Miss, was originally drafted by the Jets in 2021 in the second round. He already has 80 catches and six touchdowns in his NFL career.
