Personally, the only reason I would consider keeping him is because he's obviously a significant leader for an incredibly young defense. You could make that argument and I would at least listen.
This is a huge part of it. Our secondary and LB crew is about as green as it gets. Take Mosley out, and it goes from mess to disaster imo. You have a good point about the expense and contract cost in 2022. Mosley like won’t be a part of any Super Bowl run. My take on that - at some point the team has to stop being terrible before we can even consider a Super Bowl run. Nothing wrong with veteran leadership even as a bridge. I’d even argue it’s a necessity.
I just think you can find veteran leadership that costs less than $16 million in salary. Melvin Ingram is known as a good locker room leader, costs 25% of that. Just 1 example
I thought defense was ok today. Not great but a young team I expected to be a lot worst. I think it benefits the team to have a guy like Mosley who learned a lot from his Ravens days.
CJ was showing these young bucks how to play football like a man today. He was laying some wood on the biggest, baddest RB in the league. Hopefully he didn't get too nicked up because he was laying hits like he thought he was 20lb heavier and that'll take its toll late in the season.
Base touching. ps I am not that sad to search this out but was looking for something else Mosley related and just read it, sparking it to life just for a laugh
Mosley was great for half the year and has been relatively poor the last month or so as we’ve gotten gashed and he’s overrun a ton of plays.
and who will step in for Mosely? The guy took a Covid year off and now he's working for a living again. Hard thing to do trying to pick up where you left off. Probably really hard in professional sports. Not saying its impossible, but that year off may be showing up now as we get into the last half of the season.
I think Mosley is a good player in the right situation. After the first 5-6 games it became clear on tape what his weaknesses are and now teams are exploiting them.
I think it's clear we keep him 1 more year. if we cut him we lose 3 mil plus the cost of his replacement. we are gonna have a young Lber group regardless and he's the QB of the defense. we need him for next year then hopefully sherwood can take over by then as the QB of the defense and we cut him before the 2023 season and save 15.5 mil
Let’s see how he does now he has Quincy back on his side…they seem to play well together as opposed to Jarrad.
I see only 2 options. One is keep him for 2022, the other is eat some of his salary of it tempts someone into giving up a pick for him.
My guess is he is out by halftime with a concussion. He got his bell rung defending the touchdown against Mia and the odds of the nearly inevitable follow up concussion happening on a player in a Jets uniform seem likely.
Are we sure Quincy can’t take his spot? Maybe it allows us to save (literally) a buck or 2 on Quinnens contract. Not only that, and I know he doesn’t t have the skill Mosley has, but he seems to be an all effort guy. Reminds me of Sheldon without attitude/ego In That regard
