One of the New York Jets‘ biggest additions of the 2021 offseason was not an addition at all: it was the return of a healthy C.J. Mosley.
After signing a five-year, $85 million contract ($51 million guaranteed) with the Jets in 2019, Mosley only played two games in his first season due to injury woes before opting out of the 2020 season because of COVID-19 concerns. He came back at full health in 2021, dropping weight and adding speed to prepare for his integral role in Robert Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich‘s 4-3 defense.
