The Jets and their defense took another big hit on Saturday.
Middle linebacker C.J. Mosley opted out of the 2020 season due to family health concerns, a league source said. This is a huge loss for the Jets, who one week ago exactly, traded disgruntled All-Pro safety Jamal Adams to Seattle.
The Jets were excited about getting the accomplished Mosley back after an injury-riddled 2019 season and having him lead Gregg Williams’ defense.
