Sources close to the team say Moore has voiced his frustration behind closed doors, specifically regarding his limited targets in the new-look offense. After an offseason filled with optimism, Moore was expected to play a major role in the Browns' passing attack. But early reports suggest that he feels overlooked in key situations, especially on third downs and red zone packages.
“He’s not being selfish,” one teammate shared anonymously. “Elijah just knows what he brings to the table — and it’s more than what he’s being allowed to show right now.”
Moore, known for his quick cuts and separation skills, was visibly animated during a recent practice session. Several witnesses say the receiver had a heated exchange with a member of the offensive staff after a red zone drill. While no punches were thrown, the tension was undeniable.
Coach Kevin Stefanski downplayed the incident during a post-practice press conference, calling it “healthy competition,” but insiders suggest this isn’t an isolated event. Moore has reportedly been venting his concerns privately for weeks, with some teammates now stepping in to play peacemaker.
As the Browns gear up for a make-or-break season, the coaching staff may need to address these issues head-on to keep the locker room united.
