do we think jamal would have thrown a tantrum like this during any other offseason, or is this just another example of somebody going a little stir crazy during the coronavirus lockdown?
i agree the timing is obnoxious/ridiculous, but this is a guy that was told in january and then after the draft that this would be addressed. It wasn't, and he's been home for months thinking and stewing about it, and he was already a little gay before all of this
I'll dismiss what he was told in January, because i'm sure the Jets didn't bank on a pandemic happening in the spring. As far as what he was told right after the draft, we're less than 2 months from the draft date. Did Jamal expect a contract offer the day after the draft?
I think he needs to calm his funbags, and focus on preparing for the season.
I would have a completely different opinion and would sympathize with him more if he was entering his contract year.....but he's not. He needs to STFU and be the leader he keeps telling everyone that he is. He's going to get paid eventually (even if he does get injured), the guy is top 3 at his position.
Also, asking for a trade and then telling potential teams that you're willing to wait on a contract extension is the biggest POS move i've seen from a player in a long time.
