FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore, frustrated by his lack of involvement in the offense, requested a trade Thursday, a person familiar with the situation confirmed to ESPN.
Moore's request, first reported by NFL Network, came on a day in which he was sent home before practice for what the team called a "personal day." Coach Robert Saleh, in brief comments to reporters on the field, said Moore was excused because of a family issue.
Sources said Moore's absence was tied directly to him being upset with his usage, with one source saying he expressed his displeasure to members of the organization.
