The Cleveland Browns made a big move this afternoon, trading with the New York Jets for disgruntled wide receiver Elijah Moore. The Browns gave up pick 42 in the 2023 NFL Draft for Moore and the 74th overall pick in the draft. Essentially, the Browns moved back 32 spots in the upcoming draft to acquire Moore’s services. And they only owe him less than $2 million per year over the next two seasons.
The Browns now sit with Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and David Bell as the top guys in their wide receiver room with Moore.
How did social media react to this move as the Browns add the receiver by moving back 32 spots in the 2023 NFL Draft? Take a look here!
BOOM. #Browns have traded for WR Elijah Moore.

The Browns were not getting a WR who is better than Elijah Moore at 42 and they got a pick back to boot.
