Mosley was a member of the Jets from 2019 through 2024.
CJ Mosley is retiring from the NFL. CBS Sports broke the news.
Linebacker C.J. Mosley, who has been a standout for the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets, has decided to retire, he tells CBS Sports.
The Jets released Mosley early in the offseason after the team re-signed Jamien Sherwood. Sherwood stepped into the starting lineup and had a breakout season in 2024 as injuries limited Mosley to four games.
The Jets signed Mosley to a then-massive five year, $85 million contract in 2019. Mosley had been a Pro Bowler and Second Team All Pro in four of his five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He didn’t quite reach those heights with the Jets. His six seasons in New York included three where he either barely or never saw the field. Mosley was, however, named the Pro Bowl and earned a Second Team All Pro nod in 2022. He was also a respected locker room leader who was voted a captain every season he was with the Jets.
I am sure Mosley will be a success with whatever he decides to do next.
