C.J. Mosley Fantasy

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley, who opted out in 2020 due to COVID-19 and played in just two games due to injuries in 2019, could have a bounce-back year in 2021. Mosley looked slimmer and quicker during offseason practices, which should help him transition to the team's 4-3 defensive scheme. He was one of the league's best off-ball linebackers before his injuries in his first year with the Jets, but he'll need to prove that the rust is shaken off this summer in training camp. The Jets defense should take a huge step forward if Mosley returns to his pre-injury form, and savvy fantasy managers in IDP leagues will take advantage of his low cost.

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley hasn't played a complete game with the team since signing a record-setting contract in March of 2019. Mosley opted out of last season due to COVID-19. "There's a little added chip [on his shoulder] because you've always got your fans that are going to heckle," Mosley said. "When I get back on the field, I definitely want to make sure they respect the name again." The 28-year-old made four Pro Bowls with the Baltimore Ravens, and he's trying to re-establish himself under a new coaching staff and defensive scheme. The Jets have been open to trading Mosley, but his contract has proved immovable. Mosley and Jarrad Davis are expected to start in the team's 4-3 defense, although their exact positions haven't been determined. If he can return to his previous Pro Bowl form, Mosley will surely be on the IDP radar.

The New York Jets have been receiving trade calls on four-time Pro Bowl linebacker C.J. Mosley. The seventh-year veteran still has $22 million in guarantees remaining on his contract after he opted out due to COVID-19 in 2020. His salary cap hit on a new team would be $6 million in 2021. Mosley signed a five-year, $85 million deal with the Jets in 2019 but played in just two games after suffering a serious groin injury early in the season. He spent his first five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens after he was selected 17th overall in the 2014 draft. In 79 career games, Mosley has 588 total tackles (43 for loss), 32 QB hits, 8.5 sacks and 10 interceptions (two for touchdowns). He also had a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in 2015.
