Florham Park, New Jersey – Linebacker C.J. Mosley’s tenure with the New York Jets has come to an end as the team announced his release on Wednesday. Mosley, a veteran player who spent six seasons with the Jets, saw his final season cut short due to a neck injury that limited him to just four games. Despite this setback, Mosley demonstrated his impact on the field with 478 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in the 50 games he started over the previous three seasons.
Following Mosley’s departure, Jamien Sherwood stepped up to fill the linebacker role during the last season and showcased his skills well enough to earn a new contract with the team this week. Sherwood will now join Quincy Williams as the top two linebackers for the Jets in the upcoming 2025 season, bringing a new dynamic to the team’s defense.
Mosley’s release marks the end of an era for the Jets, who will now look to Sherwood and Williams to lead their defense moving forward. The decision to part ways with Mosley reflects the team’s commitment to building a competitive roster that can perform at the highest level in the upcoming season. As Sherwood takes on a more prominent role within the Jets’ defense, fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see how he continues to develop and contribute to the team’s success on the field.
With Mosley’s departure, the Jets have signaled a shift in their defensive strategy, placing their faith in Sherwood and Williams to anchor the linebacker position. The upcoming season will be a pivotal one for the Jets as they seek to build upon their foundation and work towards a more successful future in the competitive landscape of the NFL. As training camp approaches, all eyes will be on Sherwood and Williams as they step into their new roles and strive to make an impact for the Jets in the 2025 season.
