Elijah Moore might sit in a precarious situation despite recording his career high in receiving yards in 2023.
Moore is scheduled to make $1.8 million in 2024 in the final year of the rookie contract he signed with the New York Jets.
The contract length could be the reason why the Browns let go of Moore in the offseason.
Cleveland probably will not be able to afford Moore on a new deal because of its current cap situation and the need to sign young players, like Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, to longer deals.
The development of David Bell and Cedric Tillman could accelerate Moore’s exit timeline as well.
The Browns could feel comfortable going into the 2024 season with Amari Cooper, David Njoku, Bell, Tillman and a potential high draft pick to save some money on offense.
