Jets Release Five-Time Pro Bowl Linebacker C.J. Mosley

The New York Jets have released linebacker C.J. Mosley after six seasons, a decision influenced by a new coaching regime and Mosley's recent struggles with injuries that limited him to just four games in 2024. Mosley, a former first-round draft pick and five-time Pro Bowler, had a tumultuous tenure with the Jets, which included a significant contract but also a series of injuries and a season missed due to COVID-19. Despite his challenges, he was recognized as a leader and a high-caliber player, earning All-Pro honors in 2022. The Jets' coach Aaron Glenn and owner Woody Johnson expressed gratitude for Mosley’s contributions and leadership during his time with the team. Mosley's release follows the recent departure of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, marking a significant shift in the Jets' roster as they aim to rebuild. As Mosley enters free agency, his future remains uncertain, especially given his injury history.
