New York Jets
A big opt-out
While it wasn’t like the Patriots and their numerous players hitting the opt-out list for the NFL, the Jets did have a big name appear on it. After linebacker CJ Mosley only appeared in two games due to injury in his first season with the Jets in 2019, he’s decided not to play in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Mosley spoke about the choice while participating in a Facebook Live event.
“That’s probably the biggest football decision I’ve made in a long time, probably since I picked what college I’m going to,” Mosley said. “That’s a book I got to start writing pretty soon. What’s the next step? Because there’s a lot of negative things people been saying as far as me not playing two years. And there’s a lot of positive things that are being said.
“I’m out all year so I have all this time to mentally get better, to physically get better, kind of readjust and kind of find that flame again.”
Mosley signed a five-year, $85 million deal with Gang Green two offseasons ago.
