Mosley was expected by many to stay in Baltimore. However, after the Ravens chose not to place the franchise tag on the 26-year-old Mosley was able to get a big payday on the open market.
The middle linebacker has been a pro bowler in each of the first four seasons of his carer. He was named second-team all-pro all four seasons in Baltimore.
Mosley is the middle linebacker the Jets have been looking for since David Harris began to age. He will immediately take leadership of a young Jets defense looking to surge in the AFC East.
With Anthony Barr choosing to stay in Minnesota over coming to New York this deal is even more critical to a Jets team looking to win now.
