C.J. Mosley

Age: 26

Last Team: Baltimore Ravens

How in the world did the Baltimore Ravens let this guy get away? Regardless of the reason why C.J. Mosley should be thankful because he is going to cash out in Free Agency. Over the last two seasons, Mosley has recorded over 100 tackles. And in 2017, he notched 132 total tackles. He was ranked third for solo tackles with 96 total.

The production there is impressive for Mosley, but in the Eagles case, they need somebody reliable. Meaning, somebody who’s durable and always available. For Mosley, that’s been his specialty. We’ve seen so many injuries on the Eagles defense over the last two years, so it would be refreshing to snag a linebacker who’s rarely missing time due to injury.

The good news is that Mosley has started and played in 77 out of 80 regular season games since his rookie season with the Ravens in 2014. Also, he appeared in all three of their playoff games as well, where he totaled for 31 tackles. Availability is vital when it comes to Mosley, but he’s also in on the action as well and is still young. If the Eagles want to break the bank on a linebacker, Mosley is worth every penny this offseason.
