The Jets signed CJ Mosley to a five year, $85 million contract on March 14, 2019. Mosley's contract has $43 million fully guaranteed at signing and $51 million in overall guarantees. The guarantee is made up of a $7.5 million signing bonus, a $10.5 million 2019 roster bonus, a $10 million 2020 roster bonus, his 2019 and 2020 salaries, and a partial $8 million guarantee on his 2021 salary. If Mosley is on the roster on the 5th day of the 2020 league year an additional $8 million of his 2021 salary becomes fully guaranteed.

He opted out for this season but got paid his roster bonus which should of been returned. Being that he was on the roster but on the opt out list did his 2021 salary become fully guaranteed? If so, it makes it that much harder to move him.

If there is new covid rules then a pre june trade could $21 M over 5 years if not mistaken. a post june trade would reduce that number to $6 M total in dead loss.

what another buffoonery of a free agent signing, but both Neville Hewitt & Harvey Langi have proven to be worthy of new contracts which opens the door not needing an over priced middle linebacker.

yeah, I was happy when we signed him and for the half game he played. now he seems like a total waste who doesnt want to play or need to play. not sure what we should do. probabaly will get cut or have to play for less. who wants a guy who has sat for 2 years

I believe the roster bonus was all he was paid. I’m not sure but I believe his 2020 salary was deferred. It’s like 2020 never happened salary wise and was just pushed out another year. I believe Mosely will play next year, and then either restructure or be cut. The $10MM roster bonus is why he opted out. I too believe he has little desire to play.... not just for us, but for anyone

He’s a talented player when healthy.
Jets need all the talent they can get.
Jets are going to be about 100 mill over the cap and that’s with Mosley. Let him play, he’ll help an try to get this defense back to respectable

I assume you mean under the cap.
