C.J. Mosley Slams Door on Jets Coaching Career, Starts New Job

Sorry, New York Jets fans, former linebacker C.J. Mosley will not be pursuing a coaching career after all.

ESPN’s Rich Cimini shared on X previously Twitter that Mosley “is launching Legacy Trust Sports Group with his longtime biz partner Brandon Wassel. LTSG will be a full-service sports agency.”

“Coaching was never my path, but guiding, mentoring and doing the right thing has always been in my DNA,” Mosley said in a statement shared by Cimini on social media.

Mosley Retires, Won’t Coach, but Will Still Be Involved in the Game He Loves

In March, the Jets released Mosley in a cost-cutting move. Mosley’s final season with the Jets was marred by injury, missing 13 games due to toe and neck problems.

Ultimately, Mosley decided to retire from the NFL because of complications getting medically cleared due to his neck.

Immediately after Mosley retired from the NFL, there was a push on social media by Jets fans to get him on the coaching staff.

Even after getting cut by the Jets this offseason, Mosley had spent time with former teammates Jamien Sherwood and Quincy Williams to help mentor them. That seemingly opened the door for a path to coaching in his future.

However, Mosley shut the door pretty firmly on that with his decision to get into the agent side of things in the NFL.


Mosley Explains New NFL Career Path

“Launching Legacy Trust Sports Group is deeply personal to me,” Mosley said in the press release. “Over the course of my 11-year career, I’ve learned that while performance on the field can open doors, it’s who you are off the field that defines your legacy. I’ve lived the highs and lows of this game. I know what these athletes are going through – because I’ve been there.”

Mosley and his longtime business partner, Brandon Wassel, are launching the Legacy Trust Sports Group. This is a new full-service sports agency that is built on “a foundation of mentorship, integrity, and leadership,” the statement reads.

Mosley, 33, can no longer play the game due to medical reasons, but this allows him to give back in his own way.

The former Alabama product is a five-time second-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler. He spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens. During the 2019 offseason, Mosley made the leap from the Ravens to the Jets, spending his final six years in New York.

Mosley finished his career with 1,083 total tackles, he appeared in 133 games, made 132 starts, scored three defensive touchdowns, recorded 12 interceptions, 12 sacks, 40 quarterback hits, and had 53 pass deflections.

“We want every client to feel safe, valued, and confident that their future is in the hands of people who truly care,” Mosley said in the press release. “Legacy Trust will be more than just representation. It will be family.”
