C.J. Mosley retires from NFL months after Jets release
NY Post
C.J. Mosley is walking away from the NFL.
The five-time Pro Bowl linebacker, who spent the past six seasons with the Jets, announced his retirement Thursday, on his 33rd birthday.
“Once upon a time, a kid from Mobile, Ala., had a dream to do great things on the football field,” Mosley said in a video he posted to his Instagram account. “Today, it is time to wake up from my childhood dream and share it with the next generation. I spent my whole life and career building my legacy. Now, it’s time to start a new chapter with new dreams. It won’t be easy, but I’m here to tell you every sacrifice is worth it.
“When you wake up, what will your legacy look like?”
The Jets released Mosley in March after an injury-filled 2024 season. Mosley played just four games last year due to a toe injury and a herniated disc in his neck.
He will be remembered around the Jets for not just his play but also his leadership. He was the quarterback of the defense, responsible for making the calls and adjustments.
Perhaps it will be much ado about nothing.
The Cowboys have not enjoyed the year they would have liked, but that didn’t stop Jerry Jones from spreading some cheer before the team’s Christmas Day Game.
The Ravens are likely already at a disadvantage heading into Saturday.
It’s almost that time of year.
There’s a long way to go this offseason, but already there are clear winners. Our halfway winter winners:
Look, nobody thought this Jets team was going to the Super Bowl this year. The flaws were evident all offseason. They had no depth at wide receiver. They were rolling the dice with Justin Fields at quarterback. They had issues on the defensive line and in the secondary.
