Linebacker C.J. Mosley is hanging up his cleats.
Mosley announced in a social media post on Thursday that he is retiring after 10 seasons in the league.
“I spent my whole life and career building my legacy,” Mosley said in his post. “Now, it’s time to start a new chapter with new dreams.”
The No. 17 overall pick of the 2014 draft, Mosley immediately made an impact with the Ravens, finishing the season No. 2 in AP defensive rookie of the year voting. He was also selected to his first Pro Bowl and was a second-team All-Pro.
He played his first five seasons with the Ravens before signing with the Jets as a free agent in 2019, which is where he spent the rest of his career. In 2024, Mosley was limited to just four games with three starts due to a neck injury.
New York released Mosley in March.
Mosley ends his career having played in 133 games. A five-time Pro Bowler, he recorded 1,083 total tackles, 12.0 sacks, 55 tackles for loss, 40 QB hits, 53 passes defensed, 12 interceptions, 10 forced fumbles, and nine fumble recoveries.
The Jets officially added former UFL kicker Harrison Mevis to their 90-man roster on Wednesday and his arrival pushed another kicker off of the roster.
The team announced that they waived Anders Carlson in order to open a spot for Mevis.
Carlson joined the Jets’ practice squad last November and was elevated to the active roster. He appeared in five games before being cut and he returned to the team on a future contract after the end of the regular season.
Carlson was 8-of-10 on field goals and 9-of-11 on extra points for the Jets. He also went 5-of-5 on field goals and 3-of-4 on extra points in two games for the 49ers and served as the kicker for the Packers for the entire 2023 season.
The Jets signed UFL kicker Harrison Mevis on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
The Jets used five different kickers last season and currently also have Anders Carlson and undrafted rookie Caden Davis on the roster at the position.
Mevis, known as The Thiccer Kicker, hopes to become the latest spring kicker to latch on to an NFL team. Brandon Aubrey and Jake Bates came up the same way as Mevis, who went 20-for-21 on his field goal attempts this spring with the Birmingham Stallions, with a long of 54.
At Missouri, Mevis set the SEC record for the longest field goal ever at 61 yards. He was 89-of-106 (84 percent) in four years with the Tigers.
He signed with the Panthers after going undrafted last year but could not beat out Eddy Pineiro for the job.
The Jets announced a handful of roster moves after wrapping up their mandatory minicamp on Thursday.
They signed defensive lineman Kingsley Jonathan and offensive lineman Marquis Hayes. Guard Zack Bailey and cornerback Tre Swilling were waived off of the roster in corresponding moves.
Jonathan and Hayes both tried out for the team during their minicamp.
Jonathan played in five games for the Bears after going undrafted in 2022 and he made 15 appearances for the Bills over the last three seasons. He had 10 tackles, a tackle for loss and three quarterback hits in those contests.
Hayes has spent time with the Cardinals and Commanders, but has not appeared in any regular season games.
Woody Johnson’s teenage sons may soon be downloading EA FC 25.
Via Mark Ogden of ESPN.com, the owner of the Jets is in talks to purchase 43 percent of the Crystal Palace soccer club. He’d pay roughly $272 million for a minority stake in the franchise.
Crystal Palace is currently run by Steve Parish, Commanders principal owner Josh Harris, and Commanders minority owner David Blitzer.
Johnson, who is regarded as the leading candidate to purchase the Crystal Palace stake, bought the Jets in 2000. The Jets last made the playoffs in 2010.
In 2024, Johnson fired coach Robert Saleh early in the season. Late in the year, a report emerged regarding his teenage sons’ roles with the team, including a claim that Johnson once stopped a trade for receiver Jerry Jeudy because his sons believed Jeudy’s ratings in the Madden video game were too low.
This year, the Jets are attempting a cultural reset, with coach Aaron Glenn and G.M. Darren Mougey. Ultimately, whether it works could hinge on whether Woody lets his football people run the show.
