Have you heard the phrase, ‘the Jets are…well, the Jets?’ You might have, considering how Well they’re playing this year. However, this isn’t new for them. When they drafted Elijah Moore back in 2021, there was a lot of excitement going on around him. Like, this was the guy who, in college, was catching everything in sight and burning the offenses. And as it appeared, Jets‘ fans thought he might be the missing piece in their offense, which he looked like as well.

Moore flashed his potential during his rookie season. There’s no doubt his route-running was sharp, and he showed the ability to break away for big gains. But let’s be real—the Jets were… well, the Jets. A combination of quarterback instability and injuries held him back. And now? We’re watching the former Ole Miss wide receiver with the Cleveland Browns.

How much is Elijah Moore’s salary?

According to Moore, his lack of involvement in the offense is the reason behind this trade. And honestly, can you blame him? It’s like buying a Ferrari and only driving it to the grocery store. Certainly, you’ve got all the speed, all that potential, and you’re just…not using it! And with the Browns, as it seems, the Ferrari is back on the race track.

Now, speaking of his speed and what he brings to the field, how can we not talk about how much the guy in number 8 is taking home this season? And hey, if you’ve been sleeping on his rookie contract with the Jets, let me fill you in. With the Browns, Moore is still rolling with his solid $8.9 million rookie contract after they traded a second-round pick to get him.

And looking at the deal he’s on, the Cleveland team’s wideout will be earning a base salary of $3,116,000, while carrying a cap hit of the same. And of course, it’s not just the only amount he’s taking home this season. Well, let’s not forget the endorsement deals against his name.

How long is WR’s contract, and what is his net worth?

Let’s rewind a bit for a second. With nearly putting up 1,200 yards, catching the ball 86 times, and racking up 8 TDs in his junior year at Ole Miss, no wonder, the Jets were all in investing in Elijah Moore. As a matter of fact, the 24-year-old signed his four-year rookie contract with the Jets in 2021.

When you break down his contract, the deal includes a $3,862,128 signing bonus and $5.9 million guaranteed. And the wideout will eventually be making an average annual salary of $2,235,107. Fast forward to now, after trading with the Browns in 2023, this year marks his last year of contract, well, unless the Browns plan for a fifth-year option or a pretty contract extension.

As for his net worth, it is estimated to be around $4 million as of 2024. It’s pretty obvious that the number comes from his NFL contract but his endorsement deals with well-known sports brands play a big role here. As per some sources, these endorsement deals add roughly $500K annually to his purse.

And as far as this season is concerned, with 480 receiving yards and 55 catches, who knows the Browns might end up giving Elijah Moore a contract extension?
