Gotta feeling this coaching staff may try to trade dj before his 5th year option. Don’t seem like he their type of guy . Soon as Rhule came to town he been throwing dj under the bus . “This coaching staff don’t believe dj Moore a number one” 

clearly a bad pass by Teddy , oh i gotta go watch it again and see where the pass was what ? 
 

“We had a good td play for Robby but Teddy was forced to throw to Teddy instead “ 

Im paraphrasing 

Trading DJ Moore doesn't make any sense, and I don't get the feeling this team would want to do that anyway.

One, there's no guarantee Samuel is back next season.  I doubt he's too expensive, but you never know.

Two, DJ Moore is well worth whatever the 5th year option pays him.  We have him for 2 more years at a great price.  No reason to trade him unless you are getting a 1st round pick back for him.

People are just way too impatient with DJ.  He's 9th in the NFL in receiving yards right now despite sharing touches with other league leaders like Teddy and Mike.  And last year, he was #9 too despite playing with CMC who was eating up a lot of yards everywhere.  

Yea, you wanna see him improve with his hands.  He's gotta do better in that regard.  But I think some stuff has to do with Teddy and DJ not being 100% in-sync.  They seem to be inches away a lot.  But they are making progress.  Teddy is starting to trust DJ more downfield.  It's gonna get better.  And at the end of the day, he's only in his 4th year.  Not everyone is a Hopkins/Julio/Green/etc., where they are a stud from day one.  Stefon Diggs was always a great player comparison for him, and Diggs didn't become a stud until year 4.  I'm just saying, give him time.  DJ Moore has an elite skill-set.  No reason to trade him.  He's already a good receiver with a very good chance at becoming great in a year or two.

I'd be really upset if this team traded him for anything less than a 1st (which is what Diggs got).

I agree with you. I think he’s our best wr with the most upside rn . But the coaches Obviously don’t . Only reason he got so many targets yesterday is because he was on a rookie and Robby was up against a lock down corner fuller . I’m just reading in between the lines of all the reports since he got here . And now the games started and the targets show who they like more . It’s weird to me .

I agree with you that they probably don't see him as a stud #1 receiver.  But I don't think that means they will trade him unless they are offered something crazy.

You just don't see productive players on their rookie traded unless it's for a 1st (Minkah Fitzpatrick) or they are causing problems with the coaches/management (Odell Beckham, who was also traded for a 1st too).  They are too valuable.  Unless DJ Moore starts acting out in the media and causing friction with the team or management, which almost definitely will not happen as he's not that kind of guy and by all accounts is super humble, then the only way he's getting traded is if we're getting a 1st round pick in return.

Did you you see how he reacted after his first td of the year ? He was pissed . He def frustrated. I just don’t see him as a diva type tho so who knows . I hope we keep em and use em properly . I don’t think Robby a number one and i don’t think we should try to force that role on him just yet . But that’s what they doing .
