Saleh: It doesn’t matter what the scheme is, Mosley will fit

Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley opted out of the 2020 season, but appears poised to return for the 2021 season — particularly after recently posting that he’s received a COVID-19 vaccine.

New York reportedly received trade calls on Mosley at the start of free agency, but he remains on the roster. Though Mosley has played in a 3-4 defense throughout his career, head coach Robert Saleh said on Thursday that Mosley will be just fine in the coming 4-3.

“It really doesn’t matter what the scheme is, he’s going to fit,” Saleh said, via the team’s website. “He’s been a fantastic player his entire life and that’s not going to change just because a new coaching staff has come in. He’s a tremendous leader, a tremendous player. He hasn’t played in a couple of years so you know he’s just chomping at the bit to get back on the field.”

Mosley played only two games for the Jets in 2019 before a groin injury kept him out for the rest of the season. He signed a five-year, $85 million deal with the club following his first five seasons with the Ravens.

I hope he returns to form after sitting for 2 years, but I have a hard time believing he will

If he gets enough reps in the pre-season games he should be fine . Kid knows how to ball and he's still young enough to do what he's always done .

If he had the shot he may be dead before the season

My first reaction to Saleh's comment is he'd fit any of the 31 other teams' defense in the league, so call us and for the right price he's yours.
