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.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
