Jets' C.J. Mosley: 'It's not always about the money'

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley was supposed to be paid $17 million in 2024 in the final season of his groundbreaking five-year, $85 million contract. Mosley's old contract carried a $21.5 million salary-cap hit for New York in 2024. In return for having his potential payday of $17 million for 2024 reduced to a guaranteed $9 million -- $1.21 million base salary and $7.79 million signing bonus – Mosley got $13.25 million in guaranteed money that extends him into the 2025 season. “The main mindset was I wanted to be here,” Mosley said on Wednesday.
