Why teams shouldn’t break the bank on CJ Mosley in free agency
quote:
The young (26) ‘Bama product is expected to enter free agency as an unrestricted free agent in a class that lacks talent at off-ball linebacker, and the odds are that he signs a lucrative, multi-year contract that gives him top-five off-ball linebacker money for the aforementioned reasons.
But is he worth that kind of cash?
quote:
Mosley tied for 151st among qualifying defenders in PFF’s WAR (Wins Above Replacement) metric at 0.34 in 2018, and he tied for 25th among all off-ball linebackers; better coverage linebackers (i.e., Matt Milano, Cory Littleton, Zach Brown) all ranked significantly ahead of him.
quote:
Good, not great coverage and strong run defense at off-ball linebacker can be added to the roster for far less than the price tag likely pinned to Mosley in free agency.
But hey, the Jets had to spend some of that $82+ million in cap space somewhere.

Yea, it's probably silly to spend that much on any ILB, even a 26 year old 4-time pro bowler and 4-time 2x All-Pro in the prime of his career.
The thread title is literally "Linebacker U makes Alabama kid 2nd highest paid NFL inside linebacker", so..........sorry if spiking that shite to the stone age triggers you.
