C.J. Mosley's release from the New York Jets marks the end of an era for the veteran linebacker after six seasons in green and white. Mosley, who signed a hefty deal worth $85 million in 2019, faced challenges with injuries, limiting his impact on the field. His tenure included 56 games in which he recorded 504 tackles and earned multiple Pro Bowl selections. Jets management expressed gratitude for his leadership and contributions, highlighting his role as a mentor in the locker room. This decision, anticipated due to Mosley's cap hit and the emergence of Jamien Sherwood as a capable replacement, also brings about a dead cap hit of $8.8 million but saves the team $4 million in the coming season. As Mosley looks for his next opportunity, his legacy with the Jets as a passionate leader remains solidified.
