C.J. Mosley (2018 team: Baltimore Ravens)

The No. 1 linebacker in free agency this offseason will be C.J. Mosley, who has been a dominating figure for the Baltimore Ravens since coming into the league. Still only 27-years old, Mosley has started all but three games during his five-year NFL career, and is just starting to hit his prime.

Last season, Mosley helped the Ravens win the AFC North, as he eclipsed the 100 tackle mark for the fourth time in five seasons. He is a guy who can play sideline to sideline, and on the Raiders, he would instantly become not only a leader on defense, but a captain on and off the field.

Mosley was the No. 17 overall pick in that 2014 NFL Draft, and has been to the Pro Bowl in all but one of his NFL seasons. He came into the league after winning two BCS Championships during his time at Alabama, and has that winning mentality that the Raiders are trying to build back up within the organization.
