The Los Angeles Rams made two of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason. Cooper Kupp announced to the world that the team would be moving on from him — he was cut and subsequently signed by the Seattle Seahawks. They followed that up by adding Davante Adams to a two-year, $44 million deal.
While Adams appears to have plenty of football to play, the reality is he is 33 years old — making this a win-now addition.
In his recent piece for Bleacher Report, “Best Fits for NFL’s Most Intriguing Available 2025 Free Agents” Kristopher Knox makes the case for Elijah Moore.
Los Angeles Rams Best Fit For WR Elijah Moore
“Teams looking for receiver help but uninterested in chasing a pass-catcher with age or injury concerns should be intrigued by Elijah Moore. The Los Angeles Rams could also provide Moore with a tremendous new home. While the Rams added Davante Adams as a free agent, they parted with both Kupp and Demarcus Robinson. Moore, along with Tutu Atwell, could help replace Kupp as an inside-outside receiver. His skill set would also mesh with Sean McVay’s spacing-based passing concepts. Former Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt also happens to work in L.A. as a senior offensive assistant.”
Elijah Moore, a 2021 second-round draft pick by the New York Jets, has spent the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns. While he hasn’t yet fully lived up to his draft expectations, he has shown a slight increase in production with the Browns compared to his time with the Jets.
In 2023, Moore recorded a career-high 640 receiving yards, and in 2024, he achieved a career-high 61 receptions. Notably, these statistics were compiled while playing 13 games with Deshaun Watson, whose performance has been widely criticized.
Although Moore’s potential may be limited to a third or fourth receiver role, his upside is still considered attractive. Despite his somewhat smaller stature at 5’10” and 180 pounds, he demonstrates clean route-running skills, possesses 4.35 speed, and offers versatility to play both inside and outside.
With his 25th birthday approaching later this month, Moore is still relatively young, comparable in age to many of this year’s draft prospects.
