On Aug. 4, during a Facebook Live event for the Wounded Warrior Project, he explained the reason behind his decision.
“That’s probably the biggest football decision I’ve made in a long time, probably since I picked what college I’m going to,” Mosley said. “That’s a book I got to start writing pretty soon. What’s the next step? Because there’s a lot of negative things people been saying as far as me not playing two years. And there’s a lot of positive things that are being said. I’m out all year so I have all this time to mentally get better, to physically get better, kind of readjust and kind of find that flame again.”
So what did fans think? Here are some of the Twitter comments posted to an ESPN story that featured his quotes from the Facebook Live event:
“‘Kind of find the flame again.’ Another guy the Jets paid and then stopped caring about football.” — Kenny Mehr
“Respect to (C.J Mosley). Can’t wait to see you balling out again next season.” — Joe Silver 55
“The Jets gave $85 million to a player that lost his ‘flame’ to play the game. Unf-believable!” — Marxman 35

FIRST DOWN- A lot of potential, but a lot to learn
There is a lyric in an old song by the rock group Chicago that sums up where Zach Wilson is right now:
IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR JEFF ULBRICH - Ulbrich breaks down Jets' defensive personnel
(Marcus Maye) can do it all. I would feel comfortable with him (at free or strong safety). He’s a guy that, to me, he can play deep, he can play the half field, he can play the middle third, he can do that and you feel comfortable with it. I think he’s got range, speed and athleticism. I think he’s got ball skills and instincts to be a deep safety. But I think he’s got enough size and girth and want-to and courage to play in the box. It’ll be fun to utilize all the things that he does. He can cover tight ends; he can cover some of the wide receivers in this league.

Jets hope initiatives will increase winning edge
Aside from adding as many good players as possible to help the Jets improve, coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas are trying to turn over every stone to find extra ways to give their team a winning edge, and two examples of this were announced over the course of the offseason, with the additions of a game management coach (Matt Burke) and the installation of an Athletic Care and Performance Department. Let’s take a closer look at these two moves and how they might help the Jets:
