“Today, it is time to wake up from my childhood dream and share it with the next generation,” Mosley said in his Instagram video posted Thursday. “I spent my whole life and career building my legacy. Now it’s time to start a new chapter with new dreams. It won’t be easy, but I’m here to tell you every sacrifice is worth it.

“When you wake up, what will your legacy look like?”

Mosley totaled 1,083 tackles, 12 sacks, 12 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles in 133 games (132 starts) with the Ravens (2014-18) and Jets. Baltimore drafted him with the 17th overall pick in 2014 out of Alabama.

Hall, 23, has played through a knee injury that he sustained in New York’s 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 17.

He has 164 carries for 692 yards and four touchdowns this season to go along with 46 receptions for 401 yards and two scores.

Mosley, 32, has 17 tackles in four games (three starts) this season.

The five-time Pro Bowl selection has 1,083 tackles, 12 sacks, 12 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles in 133 games (132 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2014-18) and Jets. The Ravens selected him with the 17th overall pick in 2014 NFL Draft.

The New York Jets placed defensive end Jermaine Johnson on injured reserve on Thursday because of a ruptured right Achilles tendon, ending his season, and signed defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes from the practice squad to the active roster.

“Thank everyone for all the prayers and support!” Johnson, a Pro Bowl selection as an injury replacement in 2023, said in a social media post on Monday. “This is not a dark time for me, although there will be dark days ahead, this is Gods way for me to not only grow as a man, person and player but to also inspire others to as well.”

The Jets traded into the bottom of the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft to select Johnson No. 26 overall. In 33 career games (19 starts), he has amassed 88 tackles, 10 sacks, seven pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble.

Holmes, 28, has four tackles in two games for the Jets this season. He played in five games for New York in 2023, totaling five tackles and a sack. He’s also spent time with the Minnesota Vikings (2018-20), New Orleans Saints (2021) and Chicago Bears (2022). Holmes has 69 tackles, including eight tackles for loss and two sacks, and six quarterback hits in 41 career games (10 starts).

McCrary-Ball, 25, appeared in two games for the Jets last season, when he spent most of the campaign on the practice squad.

New York signed Mosley to a five-year, $85 million contract in March 2019, hoping he’d anchor their defense the way he had for the Baltimore Ravens, who made him a first-round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.

But last season, he missed 14 games with a groin injury. He managed just nine tackles to go with one interception and a fumble recovery, He had a career-high 133 tackles and 12 quarterback hits in his rookie season.

According to Spotrac, he already received his $10 million roster bonus and was due to make an additional $6 million in base salary.
