He does look like he's checking out and grabbed himself a going away gift of $150k. On the other hand, if he doesn't play next season, it would be interesting if the Jets were entitled to claw back the roster bonus they paid him in March. Anyone know how that rule works? Well for one, the 150 isn’t his. He has to pay that back. It’s more of a loan. Second, that roster bonus is done with. Nothing you can do. If they didn’t wanna pay that, he should have been cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was unusually difficult to find on the Internet, which is usually giving with both hands on personal information about celebrities. So I'll give him at least a partial pass for that, which I was unaware of earlier. Obviously I don't know any details of who is raising him so I can't judge. Many NFL players have children and are playing, but this may be a more unique type of situation. In any case, I hope it's what he says it is, and not him losing his passion for the game. I guess we'll know in a year. It would appear that Mosley is a private dude and doesn't feel he owes strangers on the internet an explanation of his family life. This appears to be angering the hardo wannabe-doctor crowd, which is a bit entertaining to watch tbh. It's honestly making me a fan of the guy. 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically speaking as much as it would likely bother many to see the highest paid Jet hold onto to 10 million in bonus dollars...the optics of the Johnsons trying to claw back money from a player should he choose to retire a year following a Covid opt out, would not be a good look for the Johnsons. It's a perfect storm for CJ to jump into a lifeboat and head to a safe harbor; Covid and an owner under public & NFL scrutiny for alleged toxic/racist remarks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard King Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 People of color have a higher rate of all the wrong things related to Covid. I can’t say I blame anyone for making the best judgement for themselves. As long as he operated within the scope of his deal I can’t really find anything wrong with what he did. But again if he did pull a fast one he needs to pay it back or they bury him 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosley for choosing to bail on the Jets is an absolute FOOL. He isn't opting out because he's protecting his kid. He's opting out because he doesn't absolutely LOVE FOOTBALL. He got his bonus and then he bailed after Jamal was traded. Have a nice life, Clint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Same people bitching about Mosley choosing not to play, which is well within his rights... Are most likely the same people saying wearing a mask infringes on their rights... Who are likely the same people saying ‘open up’ to save the economy, but... Refusing to wear a mask to local businesses in their community which in turn drives other customers away from those businesses, thus hurting their own local economy.

Instead he said the treatment was unfair as in the coaches and owners have a better deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a lot of this Mosley rage is pure fan-selfishness. Everyone ascribing bad motives to him. His past tweets showed tremendous concerns for what actions the NFL was going to take, not only for players, but also for the rest of the team's staff Sorry, I don't see this tweet as him trying to champion a cause. It comes off as a complaint, not as the league needs to do more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68JET11 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Posted this in a thread that either got moved or locked... Covid is no joke, and everyone can be on one side or the other about in this debate. It's no joke to people who have had it, and it's no joke to those who we want to protect from getting it that we love. It's also no joke to those who are losing housing, income, and would want to open up, etc... While he has every right to opt out for whatever reason he chooses, it is also very DISAPPOINTING to some fans that he did that at the salary he is being paid. He did in fact get praised for being the ANTI Jamal Adams, so it's only reasonable that we expected more from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he cant figure out how if players restrict themselves they cant get COVID by being in close contact with coaches. I dont hear him saying hes against any restrictions or feels his freedoms are infringed on. First off by Mosley making any comments about owners and coaches just shows he isn't very smart. The players are put into different situations than the coaches and the owners, especially the owners. It is common sense that coaches would have a different set of rules than players because of the way they interact. A lot would be the same but there would be differences hence they would have a coaches only call to address their situation. Owners are basically the same as a fan with better access to team so they need to follow state mandates like wearing a mask when you are at work or at a place of business. Secondly, the tweet has an air of discontent. He seems to be complaining the treatment is not equal and is unfair. It's almost has if he thinks the owners and coaches have a better deal in this than the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
