Whats next for Jamal Adams in his campaign to shoot his way out
of town?
Claim that Joe Namath wore fake fur?
Drag the Jets Lombardi Trophy around behind his car in the
parking lot of the teams headquarters, à la George Costanza?
Adams continues to blast anyone and everyone with the Jets in an
effort to get traded. Two days after taking a shot at owner
Woody Johnson on Twitter, he ripped coach Adam Gase and general
manager Joe Douglas in an incendiary interview with the Daily
News.
The Jets still have no interest in trading him, according to
sources. Douglas has said since the trade deadline last year
that he will pick up the phone if someone calls, but the belief
remains that he will have to be blown away by an offer to move
Adams. He has given no indication to the Adams camp that he is
inclined to trade him and has not granted their request for
permission to seek a trade.
Adams is using the only leverage he has being a distraction.
The Jets still have him under contract for two more years and
can use the franchise tag after that. Once Adams realized a
contract extension was not coming, he began taking shots on
social media and now in an on-the-record interview.
Adams claims the Jets lied to him and had promised him a new
deal this offseason. A source familiar with the talks said
Douglas met with Adams agent Kevin Conner at the Senior Bowl in
Mobile, Ala., in January. The Jets knew Adams wanted a contract
extension this offseason, but were unsure until that meeting of
what he was seeking in a new deal. It then became clear Adams
sought to be the highest-paid player on the team, eclipsing C.J.
Mosleys annual average value of $17 million per season. The
Jets viewed Mosleys contract differently because he got it on
the open market after playing out his rookie pact with the
Ravens rather than getting an early extension three years into a
five-year contract, as Adams was requesting.
Douglas did not make any promises about a contract extension,
according to the source, but did agree to present their request
to ownership. The next time the two sides talked was in February
and Conner was told the Jets were going to focus on free agency
and the draft and hold off on any more contract talks.
At the same time, Douglas was praising Adams publicly, saying he
wanted Adams to be a Jet for life at the scouting combine.
The COVID-19 pandemic hit in March, changing the economics of
the NFL, which played a role in the Jets decision making about
long-term contracts. Adams decided not to participate in the
virtual offseason program in April. Then in May, the Jets
informed Conner that they were not going to offer an extension
to Adams at that time. There was no timeline set for further
discussions, but they agreed to keep the lines of communication
open.
Adams was unhappy. That is when things broke down between the
two sides and Adams began voicing his displeasure on social
media and asked for the trade, providing the Jets with a list of
teams that he would like to play for.
Adams has now also put Gase in his sights, saying he is part of
the reason he wants to be traded and questioning his leadership.
It is pretty transparent that Adams is just trying to irritate
the Jets enough that they will move him, and Gase is an easy
target. If he had such an issue with Gase last season, why did
he seek an extension with the team in the first place? Why did
he tweet I want to be in New York in January?
The Jets internally have questioned whether Adams truly wants to
be on the team since last year. The Jets are 16-32 in Adams
three years and the losing has worn him down. His list of teams
he would like to be traded to shows he wants to go to a winning
organization rather than try to turn the Jets into one. It has
become clear now that he no longer wants to be with the Jets.
So, where does it go from here? Adams said he will report for
training camp on Tuesday. Being back around his teammates may
calm things down or he could continue to be a distraction. Does
he come up with an injury like Jalen Ramsey did with the Jaguars
last year to sit out? Does he continue to fire away at Gase and
Douglas?
This drama is not nearly over. Stay tuned.
Shut up and go sit down nigga.
