Few expected four-time Pro Bowler C.J. Mosley to hit the open market this offseason, but when he did, the New York Jets wisely snatched him up.
After missing out on another talented linebacker in free agency, Anthony Barr, the Jets broke the bank for Mosley, a former first-round pick who had been an unquestioned leader and a tackling machine for the Baltimore Ravens since he set foot in the NFL.
Mosley is now taking on the role of veteran leader for the Jets defense, as well as the play-caller for new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and his aggressive attacking scheme.
