Linebackers

  • CJ Mosley
  • Harvey Langi
  • Neville Hewitt
  • Jordan Jenkins
  • Jachai Polite
  • Blake Cashman
  • Frankie Luvu
  • Stephone Anthony

Mosley was made the highest-paid linebacker in league history by the Jets this offseason and immediately adds speed and leadership to the linebacker group and defense as a whole. Hewitt and the ultra-athletic Cashman will battle for the other inside linebacker spot. The pass-rushing outside linebackers leave something to be desired with Jenkins by far being the best of the group. Langi, Luvu, and third-round pick Polite will form a rotation there as well. Anthony can make the team as a core Special Teamer.
