C.J. Mosley is one of the Baltimore Ravens most important players. He’s one of the central figures that makes up the number one defense in the NFL. Mosley has made it to four Pro Bowls. The Ravens linebacker is a big name and he’s going to get paid very well. This much is a certainty. If he hits the open market without a deal from the Ravens, the highest bidder could take him away.
The franchise tag becomes a real option for the Ravens. It would be a way to keep a player they took in the first round, who has been a key starter since his rookie year.
