Ravens LB C.J. Mosley says he would love to finish out his career in Baltimore and try to be the second-best linebacker in team history.
“I’ve never been a guy that’s liked change or gone to a new place and start over,” Mosley said, via ESPN.com. “I went all four years at Bama. I was at one high school. I was at one middle school. So I’ll love to stay in Baltimore and continue my legacy and try to be the second-best linebacker to finish out there.”
Mosley is in line to play out the 2018 season under the fifth-year option and he’ll be an unrestricted free agent next year.
Even so, Mosley is confident they’ll be able to get a long-term extension in place at some point.
“I’m pretty sure something will get worked out, but I just focus on football,” Mosley said. “I just leave that to the head of the front office and my agent. I just let them work that out. All I can do is stay healthy and play football.
“I’m not really focused on that. I feel like I put in all the work I could and shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears, so I feel like my play will do all the talking when it comes time for that.”
Mosley, 25, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens back in 2014. He will play out the 2018 season under the fifth-year option before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2019.
In 2017, Mosley appeared in all 16 games for the Ravens and recorded 132 tackles, one sack, two interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown, two fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, and seven pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 35 linebacker out of 87 qualifying players.
