The New York Jets and linebacker C.J. Mosley have agreed to a two-year, $17.25 million contract that creates more salary-cap space for the team and provides additional security for Mosley, sources told ESPN's Field Yates on Thursday.
Mosley, the team's defensive captain in 2023, was due to make a non-guaranteed $17 million in base pay in 2023 -- a bloated cap charge of $21.5 million, easily the highest on the team. The two sides extended the contract by a year and included $13.25 million in guarantees, including $9 million fully guaranteed this season.
The new contract will provide at least $8 million in cap savings, which should help the Jets' free agency efforts.
