Moses was selected by the Washington Redskins in the third round (66th overall) of the 2014 NFL draft. [6] He signed a four-year, $3.05 million contract on May 29, 2014. [7] He started only one game that season and was placed on injured reserve that December because of a lisfranc injury. [8]

During training camp of his second season in 2015, Moses won the starting right tackle job despite initial belief that new first round draft pick, Brandon Scherff, would win the job. Scherff instead became the starting right guard. [9] On April 27, 2017, Moses signed a five-year contract extension with the Redskins. [10]

In Week 10 of the 2020 season, Moses filled in at left tackle after Cornelius Lucas left in the second half of the game with an injury. The following week, Moses switched over and started at left tackle in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals. [11] In Week 13, Moses returned to playing right tackle after Lucas was able to return. He was released on May 20, 2021. [12]

New York Jets

Moses signed a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the New York Jets on July 2, 2021. [13] [14]

Baltimore Ravens

On March 16, 2022, Moses signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens. [15]

New York Jets (second stint)

On March 13, 2024, Moses and a fourth-round pick were traded to the New York Jets for a fourth (originally acquired from the Denver Broncos) and a sixth-round pick. [16] [17]

The 2006 NFL draft, the 71st in league history, took place in New York City, New York, at Radio City Music Hall on April 29 and April 30, 2006. For the 27th consecutive year, the draft was telecast on ESPN and ESPN2, with additional coverage offered by ESPNU and, for the first time, by NFL Network. Having signed a contract with the Houston Texans on the evening before the draft, Mario Williams, a defensive end from North Carolina State, became the draft's first pick. The selection surprised many commentators, who predicted that the Texans would draft Southern California running back Reggie Bush or Texas quarterback Vince Young. Ohio State produced the most first round selections (five), while Southern California produced the most overall selections (eleven). Twenty-seven compensatory and supplemental compensatory selections were distributed amongst seventeen teams; Tampa Bay, Baltimore, and Tennessee each held three compensatory picks. The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season.
