First signs of a potential holdout
-
We have him under control for 3 years with the tag.
His deal is a priority, but never was going to be top priority until after the draft.
JD has also positioned us nicely to be able to frontload the shot out of a new deal for him IF the draft goes the way we want it to. If we get an interior OL we can put Winters our to pasture along with potentially Avery Williamson freeing up nearly $13 million in space which we could promptly hand directly to Adams in year 1 of a reworked deal.
-
Meh
-
Barring a trade (which i don't see happening), I'm confident Prez will get his long term deal with us, hopefully before any sort of holdout is exercised. Joe Douglas isn't stupid.
-
Schefter is really humpin' a possible Jamal Adams trade. I still don't see it happening.

I think JE said it, they have to get through the draft to see what they have and where. If they have a lot of cap space after the draft/cuts/further free agents they could easily swoop in with a monster deal in very little time. Or if cash isn't plentiful they could backload a deal or put it off another year.

Agreed.

How do I sign up to get paid to write terrible sports articles?
I believe at Fansided, you get paid based on page views, like $1 per 1,000 page views.
So you guys sharing these links of terrible articles are getting these guys paid a few extra pennies.
I used to write for Bleacher Report for free, back when anyone could sign up and start writing for them.

Peter King thinks Adams wants out

Thank god King doesn’t know excrement.
Once Adams is offered a pile of money he will be just fine

By all accounts that probably won't be anytime soon

“Jamal wants out”
Jamal wants to win and be paid fairly. What an poopchute.
-
“I think I get the sense”
Shut the freak up, clown
-
That tubby idiot doesn't have a clue.
-
Sounds like Big Doug plans on connecting with Jamal after the draft (according to his conf call)....perhaps to hammer out an extension.
-
Let's be real, while I laugh at the idea of skipping a virtual voluntary workout, the fact that this news was leaked - and now Peter King has his article, too - could mean there is some smoke to this.
Let's hope we can either find a way to pay him, or we win some games this season so he wants to stay.
-
Voluntary or not if Jamal wants to be known as the leader of this team or at least the defense he has to attend these sessions. I understand he wants a deal but we have him under control for 2/3 years.
For me where there is smoke there is usually fire. He’s been vocal about trades and disrespect from the front office for a little while now, I fear these issues will start to accumulate even further
-
The “smoke” and “rumors” go away if you pay him. He deserves to be paid. Eddie Jackson got selected the same draft as him. McCaffery went 2 picks after him and just got a contract as the highest paid at his position.
Why the freak are we worrying about squeezing out an extra year of control for one of the only players worth giving a damn about for this franchise?
-
Douglas should back up the truck for Jamal after the draft

I'd imagine that's the plan. See what you get in draft, sign a mid-tier free agent at whatever position you didn't address, pay Prez.
-
Don't want to trade Jamal, but it is fun thinking about what we could have with the extra high draft picks.

Now the first round is out of the way hopefully all this garbage about Adams being on the block can freak the freak off.

Note to Big Doug:
Pay Jamal Adams = instant folk hero status.

As expected, the Jets exercised Jamal Adams' fifth-year option, GM Joe Douglas said on The Michael Kay Show (ESPN NY 98.7). "Of course we were going to do that — and excited to do it," he said. The option extends Adams' rookie contract to 2021. His salary in ‘21 will be $9.9M. It's guaranteed for injury only; it becomes fully guaranteed next March. Next step: Work on an extension. Douglas: "We will at some point get together with his (agents) once we tie up everything on our end from the draft."

I've been very pro jamal, but I'm at the point where he can go eat bag of dicks.
Hes got 2 full years on his contract. Simmer the freak down

The only thing I can think of is “maybe he’ll get injured so we can pay him less.” Seriously we extended Ryan Griffin already. Right now Jamal is the only one on the team that deserves a new, better contract.

Could be that Joe Douglas wants to set a precedent with the team regarding early contract talks. Everyone wants Jamal here but the team still has two-three more years of control. He was the 6th overall pick, not a UDFA, he’ll be fine.
-
I’d also like to point out that Douglas mentioned a couple weeks ago that at some point THIS OFFSEASON he would sit down with Jamals agents. Guess what it’s still this offseason, it’s only been a few weeks since the draft and the entire country is in turmoil.
Perhaps JD is taking his time here when he’s clearly got 50 million things to worry about

"If you two wanna turn yourselves into a greasy spot on a country road somewhere, go right ahead. I don't give a excrement and I don't think anybody else does, regardless what they say to your face. But you two monkeys are not going to do it on my racetrack. Now y'all heard of a "Japanese Inspection?" Japanese Inpsection, you see, when the Japs get in a load of lettuce they're not sure they wanna let in the country, why they'll just let it sit there on the dock 'til they get good and ready to look at. But then of course, it's all gone rotten... ain't nothing left to inspect. You see, lettuce is a perishable item... like you two monkeys. You trade paint one more time, you so much as touch, I'm gonna Black Flag the two of you, and take apart your racecars for three-hundred laps. Then, if you pass inspection and you put your cars back together, I might let you back into the race. Now, just to show there's no hard feelings we're all gonna go out to dinner together."

Everyone but him says the Jets have no interest in trading him and are just disagreeing on timing because of the uncertainty from coronavirus next year.
Not gonna hang my hat on Gary freaking Myers.
-
Joe Douglas should be coughed on for anything less than 2 first round picks for Jamal.
Having said that, I think Jamal eventually re-signs here anyway.

The only leverage Jamal has is to be a complete asshat distraction to the point the Jets just bail. He likes football too much to risk sitting out. I can't blame him and his agent for trying to push all the buttons they can, but Big Doug knows he has a Royal Flush in this game.

A 1st and a 3rd is peanuts for a guy of Adams caliber.
But, I've been a Jets fan way too long and just prepare for the worst. So do I see the Jets extending Adams, and keeping one of the best draft picks in recent years? No...no I don't
-
Well get back probably a pick in the early 20s and a third in an unprecedented draft following a pandemic. No thanks
-
The Jets asked for much more than that the first time around. I doubt the price has dropped.
-
If I see one more take about how Jamal shouldn't be paid because he doesn't play a "premium position" I will off myself.
At least the takes about not paying him over a certain threshold make logical sense.
-
As much as I've said I want two 1st-round picks as the minimum, I think an actual Adams trade would probably be a 1st and a 3rd if it were to happen. And I don't want it to happen. Who else are we paying?
-
i think people in the media are pushing stories about a possible jamal adams trade because they're bored and because of the times we're in where nothing else is happening

Rapoport didn't rule out the Cowboys making a run at Adams in the summer, after the July 15 deadline to extend Prescott. Of course, the Jets might extend their 24-year-old star DB before then. Rapoport noted reports of an impasse between the two sides are inaccurate. A route to renegotiation still exists.
"They just haven't really gotten anywhere yet," Rapoport said.
Emphasis mine.

Damn, he's a whiny little bitch. It sucks that he's such a great player.

Darrelle Revis was a pain in the derriere during his holdout, but Jamal Adams is acting like a baby boy bitch on social media.

Mal is 100% worse. Revis was a pain in the derriere mostly because we were a championship caliber team at the time and obviously needed him coming off of the incredible 2009 year. Mal is valuable but not as much as Revis 2009, and the team is way worse, yet Mal is the one who is way more vocally complaining.

Darrelle Revis was also the clearcut best player at his position and corner is way more valuable than safety.
For all the talk of Adam's leadership abilities, he's showing his derriere with this one.
-

He is annoying. I understand though, he has very little leverage, which is basically just being a pain in the derriere until the Jets cave. He's just playing his cards. Probably won't work, but probably worth trying from his standpoint.

I don't understand it at all.
He is handling this completely wrong. He should know better too. His dad played in the league. It's not like he's playing for peanuts like Robby Anderson was.
He's on his way to a $10M fifth year option.
Bad teams overspend on players. I want to keep him here forever because he's an awesome player, but not at an absurd cost. That money can be used to help Sam Darnold right now.

I understand why he won't get paid this year now matter how much he bitches. It's the uncertainty of the cap # next year with Covid. Same reason why there are so many talented vets still available. No team wants to pony up money with so much uncertainty.
I wouldn't bitch like he is, but I'm not him. Now if what he says is true and they promised him a proposal in January, then that's on the team. They shouldn't have promised him any offer if they aren't going to sign him anyway. Joe D will just let this fizzle out and deal with it next year. Who knows if it's true anyway, Jamal knows the Jets aren't going to get in a pissing match online so he can say whatever he wants.

His dad played in the league, so he probably knows how the league works, but that also could mean he knows that this is a business and to get your money when you can. That's what Sean Gilbert taught Revis. Maybe if Instagram were around then, Revis would have been more angry online, too. He seemed to just let Geiger do his talking for him IIRC.
I just really hope the Jets don't screw this up. It's hard to know what side to be angry at. It's not a good look for Jamal to be whining on social media. It's not a good look for Joe Douglas if he's having issues with the team's best player.
The Jets have leverage in that they control Jamal's rights for a reasonable salary, but if Jamal wants to hold out and make this a big issue, he has leverage that way.
-
Cowboys first and Lamb for Adams
Yay or nay
Man. I always said I wanted two 1st-round picks at the minimum if we traded Adams.
I've never said yes to a trade, but I have a bad feeling where this is going, so I'll give a tentative Yay.
Cowboys would not do it though.
-
I don't really want Lamb. Maybe someone else.
-
I'm generally in favor of players doing whatever they need to do to get paid while they can. Using the fist emoji and #staywoke in service of getting a multi-million dollar extension a year early seems remarkably tone deaf, however. Tacky at best.

2 firsts instead of Lamb and a first....and I’ll drive him to the airport myself

I'm not willing to consider this question because I'm not yet ready to process the idea of our best player once again leaving in or before his prime to go and be a star somewhere else.

I’d be more concerned if he played a premium position.
I want to keep him, but H is correct...his approach is of the baby back bitch variety.
-
It's not my money. I don't give a excrement about how he gets it and I'm not going to sit in judgement of him for how he chooses to do it short of him kidnapping someone.
Easiest way to make this go away is for Joe Douglas to give him his second contract. He's far and away the best player we've had at that position in a long time.

He has 2 years left on his rookie deal....
-
Jamal has been a bitch on twitter/social media for most of his time here. That's certainly not going to change (even if he does get his new deal).
Adams is a big time star in the league, and a stellar locker room guy. I don't give a freak about his 'twitter game.' We need to pay the guy, and it's basically that simple. If his demands are sane he needs to be a Jet. If he wants to reset the market at S by 20% or something, that is a very different thing that needs to be discussed/handled. But until we hear that is his demands, I expect Douglas to pay him. It might not be as quickly as Adams wants, but I fully expect it will happen.
-
He probably just wants to see an offer so he can go on social media and talk about how the team low balled him or some excrement.
-
He has 2 years left on his rookie deal....
Why should I give a excrement about that as a fan?

Which we are well under.

This scenario almost reminds me of Tannenbaum jerking off Pete Kendall in contract negotiations.

Not to steal dcm's thunder, but the cap number this year isn't what anyone cares about. Teams are very concerned that it will drop a ton next year because of decreased revenue from COVID. The salary cap is based on expected revenue. Teams stuck with big contracts that spent down to the cap limit this year will be fucked next year if that happens. Teams that left a little space this year to roll over to next year will still be fucked, but not royally. I think the Jets would be smart to wait until next year with the downside of having to overpay more for him then along with more cap certainty. It isn't about being cheap.

Really? Why? They're potentially going to lose two sources of revenue, neither of which is irrelevant, but neither of which is game changing:
- Game day revenue (tickets and concessions)
- Other stadium activity (primarily concerts)
Broadcast revenue will be unaffected - if fans can't go to games then even more of them will be watching on TV, so broadcasters aren't pulling out of the contracts. Merchandising might be slightly impacted by the high street retail shutdown but my guess is that the majority of merchandising sales are done online already anyway.
I'm not hugely sympathetic to the idea of any NFL teams crying poor. I think there will be fans in the stadiums by September anyway.

I don't think next year's cap has a ton to do with the Jamal contract situation, especially since we haven't done anything prior to covid being a big deal anyway.
The reality is we have Jamal under team control for 3 years, and there's little reason to give him a contract. This team literally has 100% of the leverage and Jamal almost certainly wants an eye popping contract.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2020/05/18/the-stadium-revenue-each-nfl-team-will-lose-if-games-are-played-without-fans/
The NFL would lose $5.5 billion of stadium revenue (the sum of tickets, concessions, sponsors, parking and team stores)—or 38% of its total revenue—based on figures for the 2018 season
This is if the whole season is played without fans. Hopefully that doesn't happen but it is very much possible. Obviously there is a lot up in the air (no pun intended). The point here is that teams can't afford to bank on fans being in the stadiums all year. You have to have a plan for worse than expected scenarios. Losing potentially 1/3 of team revenue league-wide is very significant. I do think the league would allow some grace with the cap because there would be some teams that would be fucked if it went down in that proportion. But it would certainly go down and teams would be smart to prepare.

It's three months away. Three months ago no one was in lockdown, three months is a very long time. You can project your fears of the apocalypse into the distant future all you like but the fact is that everything right now is opening up again (granted some in a more ill advised fashion than others) and they're not locking down again. You've already seen what happened a short while into the first one, people will simply refuse to do a second one. People are simply prepared to take the risk and if it kills some people that aren't them, so be it - welcome to the me first society that we have built and perpetuated.
Anyway, that's not the point. Even in some hypothetical scenario in which everyone agrees to stay home and watch football on the TV, my point is that I don't believe the loss of gameday revenue will impact NFL teams especially.

Risk your life to serve me drinks!

People will listen if there’s another lockdown. Or they’ll be punished with fines or jail time. I know you don’t want to believe that...but that’s how the world works (with the US being the exception)

Are you familiar with the concept of opportunity cost

And I think Jamal will get paid...when JD deems it appropriate. In the meantime, Jamal should stop whining on social media.

While in sure this data is true. How much will viewership increase? Sure there's an unknown of the impact of a highly polifitical nfl putting off some viewers depending on which direction excrement goes the next few months and an election making everything drastically more polarizing and contentious. But at the same time people will be bored out of their freaking minds and there will have been a tremendous ongoing sport hiatus. Plus a ton of TV shows are getting postponed or delayed for their fall lineups, so TV competition could be the weakest ever.
Not to mention there's surely an extremely high probability that college football gets canceled. And if that's the case not only has the nfl explored the possibility of having games all weekend long, but viewership should be at record levels.
If there's no NBA MLB hockey or whatever the freak else even more people could get shuttled towards NFL.
I'm not saying it's very likely to happen, but I don't think it's completely unreasonable that the nfl could actually have all time record high revenues. Especially if the competition falters as much as it could

People will listen if there’s another lockdown. Or they’ll be punished with fines or jail time. I know you don’t want to believe that...but that’s how the world works (with the US being the exception)
.... you do know which country the NFL plays in, right?

Increase in viewership does not equate to an increase in advertising revenue. Not on television anyway.
They could make more money from gamepads though, but I'm sure that's a very small portion of their revenue.

A 3rd round rookie probably isn't playing at an All-Pro level his rookie year
Thank you for your insight.

Are you familiar with the concept of opportunity cost
He’s the best player in the league at his position and he makes a noticeable difference on the field. If you give me an actual player he will cost us I’ll listen. Until then I really don’t feel like dealing in hypotheticals. The world as it is is vexing enough.
If the Jets told him they were going to send him a contract offer or negotiate with him and are now ghosting him, he has a right to be pissed.
Here’s the argument that I’d be willing to entertain. The problems that Jamal has had with this team:
-JD: We’re not going to trade you, Jamal.
-Cowboys: We want Jamal Adams.
-JD: How much?
-Jamal: I want a new contract.
-JD: We’ll talk about it.
-Jamal: When?
-JD: *crickets*
Back to my original point:
Who gives a flying freak about how Jamal expresses his displeasure with the team over his contract?
He hasn’t demanded to be traded. He hasn’t said he’ll sit out training camp or the season. He said he won’t do skype workouts. Holy. excrement. The. Worst.
Why should I, as a fan, care about what he posts on IG regarding his contract?

If we pay jamal an extra $10M maybe we get one of those players. I understand jamal is much better than those players combined but there is literally no reason to pay him right now.

Replaceable, easily
Nothing special
Highest TD allowed by a nickel
Not a single one of them is worth more to this team than Jamal. We also haven't been in financial straights yet we still haven't signed any of them. Nor has any of the other 31 teams. Try again.

I listened to the OTC podcast (fag, I know). Mentioned maybe throwing him a few bucks forward this year from next year's cash as a peace offering for shutting up and waiting until next year.

But that's not the comparison.
Jamal is under contract for two more years. And we have control of him for a 3rd.
Why am I willingly going to pay more for him when I dont need to?
Why wouldn't I spend that money on positions I need?
Why would i set a precedent that contracts mean excrement with my players?
I'm sorry, but there is literally no reason to pay him more money this year. You want to argue for next year in all for it, but this year he plays on his contract.
-
Hey I just heard Sam Darnold wants more money we should probably pay him.

Because otherwise, he will likely hold out. And because in theory, this would be a great time to sign Jamal because we might not have to pay quite as much as we would in a year or two. If he wants to talk extension, fine, we have the leverage at this point.
If we can't get a contract done because Jamal and his representatives don't recognize that, then that's fine, we'll wait. We don't know what negotiations have gone on, if any. All we heard was JD say that he'll talk to Jamal sometime after the draft, and now we've heard Jamal say that hasn't happened yet.
Why wouldn't I spend that money on positions I need?
Sure, why pay the best safety in the NFL when we can sign Demaryius Thomas because we need a WR? I would argue that the biggest position of need for the Jets are IMPACT players. Jamal is an impact player.
Why would i set a precedent that contracts mean excrement with my players?
Contracts don't mean excrement. You know that. The players know that. The owners know that. freak a precedent - that's just common knowledge. Players can get cut at any time for not performing to their contract. So I can't argue with Jamal for wanting more money for obviously exceeding his contract.
Look, I'm not saying the Jets have to sign Jamal Adams. But the board turning on Jamal because of a couple of social media posts is freaking stupid. He's a great player, and he's done nothing wrong. I don't care what he posts on Instagram.
-
Jamal has been a bitch on twitter/social media for most of his time here. That's certainly not going to change (even if he does get his new deal).
Adams is a big time star in the league, and a stellar locker room guy. I don't give a freak about his 'twitter game.' We need to pay the guy, and it's basically that simple. If his demands are sane he needs to be a Jet. If he wants to reset the market at S by 20% or something, that is a very different thing that needs to be discussed/handled. But until we hear that is his demands, I expect Douglas to pay him. It might not be as quickly as Adams wants, but I fully expect it will happen.

There is a difference between saying you want a new contract and complaining about it every other week.
Its freaking June.
We're entering a recession
Our country is in turmoil
The season may not even happen
Next years salary cap will likely decrease for the first time in 15 years
It's just completely tone deaf to consistently be complaining about his contract to the public right now and it shows where his priorities are.
It's the same thing as people at my company asking for bonuses and raises while most companies are firing and furloughing people. People on town halls asking if we can expense meals after the CEO tells the company they're doing everything in their power to not have to fire a single employee.
If myles garrett gets a new contract I'll eat my hat, but no one is getting a huge contract extension right now given the climate of everything that is going on, especially someone under contract.
I have no interest in trading jamal, but if hes doing this now he will do it again 2 years after he signs his contract. And you best believe he wants to be played like a top 10 defensive player in the league 16m+ a year
-
Because otherwise, he will likely hold out.
Then let him hold out. I have no problem with that. He has 0 leverage

As much as Adams is being a bit bitchy with all this, he is talented enough to look past it and ignore it. In the end as long as he pisses and moans on social media and ultimately shows up to play, I don't think I'd take it too personally if I were the front office.
-
As I said, he’s always been a bitch on social media. But that sure as freak doesn’t matter as long as he plays like this. That said the second he gets paid, he will still be the same guy on social media as he is right now.

Cimini confirmed too. Unless there's a bidding war, it'll hurt our trade value because they know we aren't keeping him. I really don't see anything the Jets did that was wrong here.
He'll have some control over where he goes because no team would sign him without assurances he would accept a new deal. Otherwise, send him to the Skins. They suck and hed have to play his beloved Cowboys twice a year. Lol.
Hopefully everyone settles down and gets it together, but it isn't looking good.
-
He can get the freak out. I'm sick of this excrement and he's still two years away from free agency.
-
freak him. Quality and on-field leadership wise, I’d always want him on my team. But he became a cry baby and toxic. Jets can perfectly hold on for a ransom. We have all the leverage here. If someone wants to pay above market price, good riddance.
-
It would be funny if no one called him or his agent at all from the Jets front office. Just silence. Let him diarrhea all over himself on Instagram.

Find the shittiest team that will have the highest possible pick next year

Joe Douglas basically ignoring this and hoping it would go away has fucked our leverage. Should have been traded before the draft if you didn’t intend on resigning him or even negotiating with him.

A source also says there are certain teams Jamal Adams is willing to be traded to where he won't request a contract extension, at least right away.
If this is true then he can definitely freak off lol

Not sure anyone looks good in this, but if he's telling the truth about being told he was going to get an offer in January and then the Jets failing to make one, that's a pretty sloppy move on the team's part. Wasn't there a rumour a little while back that the Jets were cash strapped? (Not sure how that happens to one of the league's most valuable franchises, but still.) If it's true that we failed to deliver on a promised offer, then either Douglas has dropped the ball or the team has pulled the rug out from underneath him.

Both sides mentioned renegotiating his deal in January. Douglas and the Jets do not look good in this.

I think it's a combination of things.
- I think the Jets are being cheap and don't want to shell out a big contract right now.
- I think Joe Douglas got off on the wrong foot with Jamal Adams and has not communicated well with him.
- I think Jamal Adams wants to get paid immediately, and if the Jets are going to be a losing team that isn't willing to pay him, then he wants to get out of here.
Like Bo said, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. But that seems like the logical scenario to me.

He's been throwing a monthslong public tantrum while the team controls his rights for at least two more seasons. He needs to grow up.

I agree, that's really the only possible thing the Jets did wrong, if that is even true. Not sure why people can't just talk to each other. "Hey, you promised me an offer in January, why haven't I heard from you yet?". Instead we have silence and Instagram diarrhea. Who knows. I guess he's just at a point where he'd rather play somewhere else unless he gets offered a truckload of cash by the Jets. That's fine.

Well... that's kinda the point. Not being paid and playing on a excrement team is considerably worse. Garrett is a better comparison. I'm not saying we necessarily should be paying Adams this summer, but it does rather sound like the Jets have once against Jetsed it up by simply not communicating with him properly.

What does it matter as a fan when the result is the same? I don’t care about the front office and I sure as hell don’t trust them to build a team. This team hasn’t given me much of a reason to do so in the last decade.
They said in January they were going to renegotiate his deal. After that, Douglas kept making public, “We’ll get to that after the next thing,” comments. If they weren’t going to renegotiate his deal then Douglas shouldn’t have said it. The front office does not

I think Jamal feels that, as the team's best player and emotional leader, he deserves to be compensated for having suffered through this team's ineptitude for the last three seasons. Unfortunately, the real world and business doesn't work that way. He's under contract for at least two more seasons so the team has no incentive to rush his deal or to give in to his unreasonable demands.
I genuinely believe this wouldn't be happening if the team hadn't been a dumpster fire for his first three seasons in the league. That combined with apparently poor communication on the part of the front office and dangling him at last year's trading deadline has inflamed this situation considerably.

If he winds up playing for a new contract on a new team, something we have all agreed is a real possibility and a few are actively rooting for at this point, it apparently does work like that.
The Jets don’t win if they trade away Jamal. The team actively gets worse.
-
Hopefully the relationship hasn't been broken beyond repair but no franchise is going to crumble simply because it lost a safety, no matter how talented that safety might be.
-
I’m in.
It hinges primarily around two things: his dislike and fear of someone who is more listened to and respected than him in the locker room, and the need to add more offensive players to cover up his inability to build a competent offense without elite players figuring it out for him on the field. If we trade Jamal for a good offensive player I will consider that proof that my wild theory made up on the hoof is correct.

The Baltimore Ravens made the postseason once in the 5 years following Ed Reed's departure.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in a downward spiral since Troy Polamalu's retirement.
I therefore conclude that safety is the single most important position on the team and you are wrong.

Ravens
Cowboys
Texans
Chiefs
Eagles
49ers
Seahawks

It's also important to look at this from a purely economic standpoint. If we were to give in to Adams' demands to become the highest paid player on the team, our three highest paid players would be a safety, an inside linebacker, and a running back. What successful team has been built that way? Sure, we may be able to get out of Bell's contract in a year but that still doesn't make a lot of sense from a resource allocation standpoint.

I have a theory (and this isn't me taking the pee now) that any team is built around the spine, and that with a good spine you can live with mediocre elsewhere but with a mediocre spine good elsewhere won't help. So that means you build around the following positions:
- C
- QB
- RB
- DT
- MLB/ILB
- S (arguably)
What's interesting is that the NFL pays big money to a lot of outside positions - WR, OT, EDGE - but how many times do we see big talent, big money players in those positions fail to win anything despite getting paid? It's because the spine of the team wasn't good enough.
-
Joe Douglas is going to trade him for a guard

Adams isn't going anywhere and, as I understand it, the new CBA makes it a lot more difficult for players to hold out so he's just going to have to freaking stew

Edge rusher and corner are more important than ILB and safety. This isn't arguable.

You miss my point. EDGE and CB make the big plays that make the money, but without a solid spine I don't care if you've got the second coming of Revis outside, they're going to destroy you in the middle.
The list of elite outside players who have been paid big and won nothing is extensive.

I think it’s actually simpler than that. Jamal is tired of Losing, he doesn’t think Gase can build a winner, so either pay me right now or send me somewhere else where I can at least be paid if I can’t win.

Good. Just sit on him.

Just because positions literally play in the middle of the field does not make them the "spine."
-
The formula for success in the NFL isn't that complicated. You need a quarterback (obviously), you need to protect that quarterback, and you need to get to the other quarterback. Beyond that you want players that are around the ball constantly. Edge rushers are in the backfield more often than ILBs and corners are around the ball more frequently than safeties. You don't want mediocrity anywhere on the field but if I had to choose between strength at wide receiver, corner, and edge rusher and running back, safety, and linebacker, that choice is easy.
-
You're still confusing salaries with positional importance.
No, you're confusing being right with being wrong.
-
Good. The Jets hold all the leverage. Jamal should just sit down.
-
Just because positions literally play in the middle of the field does not make them the "spine."
Except that on both sides of the ball, if you dominate the center of the field then you have a much easier job with the rest of the game because you're making the contested area significantly smaller.

The 49ers had one of the most dominant rushing attacks in recent memory last season because of their line and their scheme, not their running backs.

Except that on both sides of the ball, if you dominate the center of the field then you have a much easier job with the rest of the game because you're making the contested area significantly smaller.
But if you can't stop outside zone, it was over before it started
-
The formula for success in the NFL isn't that complicated. You need a quarterback (obviously), you need to protect that quarterback, and you need to get to the other quarterback. Beyond that you want players that are around the ball constantly. Edge rushers are in the backfield more often than ILBs and corners are around the ball more frequently than safeties. You don't want mediocrity anywhere on the field but if I had to choose between strength at wide receiver, corner, and edge rusher and running back, safety, and linebacker, that choice is easy.
You're cherrypicking and ignoring that I also included DT and C (could probably add G in there as well if you wanted to).
-
“You’ve got to be strong up the middle” is a phrase that either Herm or Bradway had tossed around one end of season conference. That’s all I really have on this topic.

Gase is that you?

You're right, I left thoae positions out because I agreed with them while disagreeing with your overall premise.
-
Except that on both sides of the ball, if you dominate the center of the field then you have a much easier job with the rest of the game because you're making the contested area significantly smaller.
But it's never been easier to work the middle of the field because of rules put in effect to limit your ability to hit. That's part of the reason why the Patriots have been so dominant for so long because they've dominated that part of the field.
You're better off trying to lock down the sides, get to the quarterback, and force turnovers. Beyond that, it's all about having more possessions, more time, and, ultimately, more points than the opponent.
-
But if you can't stop outside zone, it was over before it started
OK, but if you can force a team to play to the outside by controlling the centre of the field then you have an advantage still.
I can think of weak teams with elite players on the outside. I can't think of elite teams with weak players inside.

Texans
Chiefs
Eagles

Seahawks
Trade him to the Browns a la Abram Elam.

I don’t know how anyone in this world can think that this is somehow the Jets’ fault. We’re months away from the beginning of the season, the guy has two years on his contract and he’s been crying and whining in social networks for months now. His attitude is just ridiculous.

Dick Cimini:
The Jamal Adams trade request is the first big test for GM Joe Douglas. Does he trade his best player or hold firm? Know this: Teams already are showing interest. A trade for draft picks does not help the team in 2020. In that case, he should've done it before the draft. If he opts for a trade, the package needs to include a quality player. The Jets shouldn't be in a hurry; they have the leverage. I know this: They're not happy with his behavior.

I also don't know how you can be a Jets fan your entire life and think the Jets are completely innocent.
People talk about the losing as "Same Old Jets." For someone who grew up during relatively good times for the Jets, "Same Old Jets" to me means allowing our best players to walk.

Meh. As a 32-year old, most of the time I've been a fan, the Jets have had decent coaches. The end of the Rex tenure, the end of the Bowles tenure, and the current Gase tenure have been the most negative I've been about any coaches we've had since 1997.
The biggest constants for the Jets in my life have been:
- Shitty QB play
- Shitty drafting
- And when they actually do draft a good-great-elite player, they either can't find a way to keep him (Abraham, Vilma, Revis, Moss) or that player eventually wears out their welcome (Wilkerson, Richardson, Williams)
-
excrement like this is why I stopped buying jerseys after Vilma.
Hoping Adams doesn't join Wilkerson, Vilma, and Moss in the far corner of my closet.

I judge cases in a case to case basis. Our FO has usually sucked but that’s irrelevant with this. On this particular one I don’t see how the hell the Jets are guilty of anything. He has 2 more years in his contract FFS. The season hasn’t even started. There was a freaking pandemic around. Sorry but it just doesn’t hold.

I think he made it entirely clear most of this offseason how he felt. He's felt all offseason that he's wanted to get paid. He's made that abundantly clear. The Jets have said publicly that they will address it at some point. Obviously, they have not done that yet. It's not like this came out of nowhere.

Obviously he wants to get paid but it was never clear from his end whether he wanted to actually be paid by us or by someone else. Every other week he would post some hoo-ha boy high school excrement on social media insinuating he wanted out, then he'd come out a week later with a pic of himself working out in Jets gear or some excrement like him wanting out was all horseshit and he wants to be a Jet.
Now that he's finally said he wanted out the picture is a lot clearer then before the draft, which was the freaking time for this moron to step up and say he'd like to be traded. Instead of just coming out and saying he wanted out, he waited, and now both parties are fucked. Him more so then the organization, but still his timing was terrible. There's no way Douglas fucks the coaching staff over by trading him for assets they can't utilize till next off season.
Jamal Adams can freak right off. People bitched about Revis doing this back in the day, but Revis was all business when it came to his holdout. Adams is just a little bitchy drama queen and wants the attention so badly.

I love him wanting to be traded to teams that have no cap space or interest in trading for him.
Seattle could work out from a cap space perspective but like the texans they have absolutely nothing to trade.
I'd love to trade jamal to the texans so watson can leave in 2 years

Would they really need him to be at the team facilities?
I mean he has no health issue or flags. and they can easily do a Skype interview and or take him out to dinner.
And theoretically any trade could be pending him passing a physical regardless.
I mean teams are going to sign and cut all kinds of guys during the offseason, surely that process will be applicable to vets like Jamal

You realize there are two sides to a trade right....

-
It sucks that he's trying to force his way out. But i trust big Joe to get maximum value if he does pull the trigger on a trade. Use the picks to load up on offensive help for Sam next year (hello Jamar Chase).
What i want to see is the Jets FO to sit on this and not let a player bully them into submission. Adams is an elite Safety, but he's out of line here. Especially since he's willing to forego a contract extension with the team he's willing to be traded to....that's freaking horseshit.
-
this honestly sucks but i feel is not as big of a deal as it's been made to be, and is getting blown up because nothing else sports wise is going on
we're all freaking out because we know these are the jets but i think this all dies down/nothing comes of it. the strangest part is the lack of dialogue which is unacceptable but i'm sure once they 'sit down' and speak relations will at the least start to improve. and there's no way the team/Joe D don't make an effort to speak to Jamal after all of this
just give it a few days

The problem is Jamal is impatient, when he doesn't need to be. He has 2 years left on his deal. His stance is so premature, and his decision on how to approach it makes him look like whiny bitch.
The timing of all this is ridiculous.

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 hope Doug does nothing and lets him know that he will get max fines for every day he doesn't show.

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.

Jamal is being impatient because he has 2 years left on his deal. And then the tag. His first 3 years as a Jet he had a front row seat to the Mike Maccagnan and Adam Gase fiasco. Would you want to spend your prime years as a top safety, getting paid well under market value, playing for an organization that has shown that kind of dysfunction? We’ve gone more backwards than forward since he was drafted.
I don’t think we’re in this situation if the Jets were winning

Sure....but telling potential teams that you're willing to play without a contract extension wipes out any sympathy whatsoever. Jamal can eat a excrement sandwich for all i care now.

i think that part of it may have more to do with our losing and dysfunction since he's been here as opposed to any contract he wants. there are probably a couple of fronts that jamal is mad with RE the team, one being the constant losing and the other being the poor movement/communication over a contract despite Jet claims that it would be addressed.
as has been mentioned, he'd probably feel okay with an L on one of those fronts but not both. a winning team with him playing under his rookie contract, or a losing excrement organization but still getting paid. i'm not defending him but it's probably hard for somebody who's been as good and as competitive as he's been at his craft his entire life to endure swallowing both.

Dudes young enoguh that he could easily play another 10 years, capable of being a top 5 safety for the next 6 to 8.
And I'd imagine because of the cap implications of covid19 it his options are probably to either get a deal now or try to wait two years for the cap situation from a potentially verydown year to work itself out.
I think he's just freaking delusional and obscenely overvalues what he brings to the team
-

The issue there isn't trading Jamal its compensation. And there's numerous ways to get compensated
-
The guy is two years outside of free agency (or being tagged) and wants a market defining contract. If Jeremy Fowler is correct, he's looking for over 20 million a year.
freak that. He can play out the year and then get dealt.

You can't bitch about money, and then turn around and tell potential teams that you're willing to play under the contract you're currently bitching about.
There's no excuse for that, i don't care if it's a winning team or not.

If he's really asking to be the highest paid player on the team, it has to be a slap in the face to someone like CJ Mosley (who is the highest paid VETERAN on the team).
Finish out your deal and then ask for the money.

Like i said in an earlier post, i could get on board if he was in his contract year....but he's not. This is a terrible look for him. I hope JD doesn't budge at all.
I hate this because he's one of my favorite players.
-
I wonder what the rest of the team is thinking about this. Self proclaimed leader now only wants to go to a playoff team (most of which have no space for the massive contract he's demanding).
What a freaking bitch. Making the Jets seem like bad guys because a system like the rookie wage scale exists. Oh and add in the massive uncertainty surrounding the season next year.
He has absolutely no pulse on the situation.

I think this is more about wanting off the team because he can't control that they have been losing.

This. Either he is an idiot or he isn't negotiating in good faith. Dak & the cowboys have been doing this for over a year, and you don't hear this from his camp. Sprinkle Covid on top of this and its just pure idiotic.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
To plays devils advocate, how would you feel if Joe Douglas gave Joe $5MM to Jamal this year to reward him for his play? I don't think you can do that now that Jamal has had a excrement show, but what do you think about this as a precedent?
On one hand he clearly outplayed his contract and as a sign of good faith for the future you're giving him some more money.
On the other hand it sort of deems contracts as meaningless and could indicate that all players are worthy of unexpected bonuses.
-
I think this is more about wanting off the team because he can't control that they have been losing.
I understand that perspective and I think that makes the most sense, but then do that before the draft.
If that was his biggest issue, what happened between before the draft and now that made him think we're more likely to lose?

Jeremy Fowler, ESPN- Jamal Adams’ future contract demands loom large in trade talks. If he wants pay among top defensive players - which one source whose team has looked into Adams believes - that’s well above $20M per year, while safety market is below $15M. Tough for a SS, no matter how good.

Truth
-
I'm sure Jamal has heard some pretty nasty excrement in the past 24 hours, and frankly the past few months while he has been bitching.
But if his agents didn't tell him that he needed to disconnect from social media for a few days the minute they decided to tell the press he has requested a trade, they are freaking morons...
-
Truth
The Bills guy can freak off with his holier-than-thou attitude though, like upstate NY is a freaking nirvana of acceptance and integration and love for all mankind.
-
I take most offense to "he's your best player of the millenium." He'd be the best Bills player of the millenium, sure, but Revis at his peak was way better.
-
Jets fans are overreacting to all this but Bills guy should shut the freak up.
-
Jeff Smith can STFU but if the Jets’ FO hasn’t completely ruined the relationship with Adams and the team then the Tweets/DMs that Jets fans are probably throwing at him right now are probably enough to break it completely.
Translation: everyone who isn’t Adams and the Jets’ FO can STFU.
-
Jamal needs to chill the freak out
-
Social media always has been and always will be a dumpster fire. This isn't new information.
Jamal Adams shouldn't be using random attacks from nobody important to fuel his anger. Stay off social media.
All i care about now is getting fair value for Adams on the trade front. He's not coming back from this. And i trust JD to get the right price.

This "Bills guy" Jeff Smith is Canadian?
https://twitter.com/JeffSmith_Bills/status/1273814185403731969
By my scientific calculations at least 30% of Bills fans are.
Also the guy doesn't have a blue check which means he's a nobody.

Jamal has done his part, even exceeded expectations. The Jets haven’t held up their end of the bargain.
I'm pretty sure only one player from the first round of 2017 has received a contract extension and he was a borderline league MVP. Mahomes was a league MVP and hasn't been extended. TJ Watt (1.30) has outperformed his rookie deal by a substantially greater margin than Jamal Adams has; he hasn't been extended.
Throwing a shitfit because you haven't been re-signed earlier than just about every player from your class is a BITCH move.
-
I understand that perspective and I think that makes the most sense, but then do that before the draft.
If that was his biggest issue, what happened between before the draft and now that made him think we're more likely to lose?
There are 2 issues. He wants to get paid. And he wants to win.
The Jets arent winning him. And they srent paying him. So that's why he is upset.

Correct amd as a result he gets his salary and gets to keep his job

I saw it said that 4 first round defensive players have been extended after 3 years since the 2011 draft, but I don't know who they are. Garrett is one, I guess. Bosa, Mack, Donald?

I didn’t mean that they Jets haven’t held up their end by resigning him, they haven’t held up their end of the bargain by moving in the direction of competency. How is Jamal supposed to “lead” the front office? He did more than any player I’ve ever seen here in terms of trying to recruit talent. How is Jamal supposed to “lead” the offense or develop a QB?
But they also shouldn’t have told him they were going to enter negotiations with him and then never make an offer - if this is what actually happened.
Anyone here think Jamal is a Gase fan?

Some fair points, but things have definitely changed since January. No one can be certain there will even be a season, let alone the cap implications that might arise. I get that they Jets apparently said they would discuss an extension, but entire sports season have been cancelled since. I don’t blame the Jets for being extremely cautious.
-
To be clear, I think they Jets are well in the right here and I’m glad they haven’t caved to Jamal’s demands so far.
That being said, Jamal was a model citizen here up until the trade deadline last year. There’s a lot of hearsay on what’s happened since then, but I don’t think it was handled well by the FO either way.

Yeah...he traded us Demaryius Thomas.

The only way the Jets could trade him to another excrement team is with the knowledge that it's on his current rookie deal, which would likely net us much less compensation.
If a team wants to trade for him and sign him to a new, big deal, Jamal would have to be willing to sign with that team. For example, if he says "I'm not signing any deal with the Bengals", the Bengals wouldn't trade for him. So, if we are going to trade him to a team where he signs a new contract, he can control where he doesn't want to go.
If we are willing to accept less compensation, send him to the Redskins or the Lions.

Getting max value for Jamal should be top priority if trading him is the decision going fwd.

He sent Jamie Collins to Cleveland for a pick, but I don't know how much of a hate trade it was given he went back to NE when Cleveland released him.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least. If true, it's just another reason this fuckface was one of the worst hires in this franchise's history.

Gase has nothing to do with sending Jamal Adams a preliminary offer. He specifically said that was a slap in the face to him.
A fan pulling random tweets to build an argument against Gase is typical and it's not surprising you're the one that's running with it.
-

I've never suspected anything else, but I've just lumped it under "Jamal wants to win." The implicit bit is that Gase is a loser.
Still a bitch move.

This is nonsense I don't believe. He's got 3 years left of team control for an extremely affordable price.
If we traded him to the least desirable team in the league do you think he's going to refuse a new contract for 3 years and play for dick?
I don't care if he goes to the skins Jaguars or whatever else is considered a cesspool. Jamal's not going to turn down highest paid safety money for a chance at free agency in 2023

Yeah, freak this guy. How old are you that you need to throw a tantrum to try and get traded to Dallas. freak Dallas too. Unless we absolutely rip them off for Lamb and a 1st or two 1sts they can freak off. Honestly might prefer a lower return just to send him to a trash team.

If he plays good and the Jets become competitive people will start blowing him again.
I think the bidding has to start at two firsts, simply because there's so much uncertainty about the draft situation next year (how covid affects standings, what happens when there's no college football etc)
If the team waits until next offseason you can ask for a lesser price once you know where things lie. But for now, you either get a package with players or get a team to overpay

That's why he think he goes elsewhere. Plus, i want to see him go anywhere but the Cowboys or an AFC East division rival, out of spite.
EDIT: Send him to Detroit for Kenny Golladay, 1st and a 4th (that can escalate to a 3rd)

I'd rather him go to the NFC and rot on a franchise that will be in cap hell before they know it.
Michael Gallup and Yannick Ngakoue are the best players that are reasonable trade targets.
Jacksonville would be foolish to give up a first.
Tampa Bay is an intriguing option. Todd Bowles is there.

Detroit wouldn't do that. They don't have anything else at receiver. Stafford would kill himself.
Cowboys have a surplus at receiver which is why it's fair to ask them for Michael Gallup.

Based on what, exactly? Signing a bunch of second tier FAs and drafting some players who we hope will be good when they see an NFL field?
This is the first test of his career as a GM and he's hardly acing it so far. Adams is a poorly advised kid with a mouth as big as his talent, but it is the job of the GM to manage people like that and keep the franchise moving in the right direction. Douglas is not doing that so far.

He won the Leonard Williams trade and i thought he did a great job at the draft.
Douglas will be fine. And he's dealing with uncertainty due to the pandemic.
Plus, he's only been here 1 year. You're not going to change the culture that fast, especially when you have a turd like Gase as your HC.
EDIT: JE, i hope you realize that a lot of this crap stems from the ownership as well. We don't even know how much autonomy JD has in his position. Hell, his HC doesn't even report to him.
DOUBLE EDIT: What do you expect JD to do about Jamal Adams? The kid is under contract for 2 more years (plus the franchise tag option)....i don't believe the Jets are at fault here. Adams, on the other hand, is taking an awful approach with this.

Jamal already said he would wait if he was traded, and he's been blowing Dallas anyway. I could easily see them letting him play out his 5th year rookie option then franchise tagging and extending him at that point.

I expect him to communicate with Adams and keep a lid on this kind of thing. I expect players not to be saying that they were promised a contract offer in January and then after the draft and now we're in June and it still hasn't materialised.
I'm not arguing that Adams isn't also at fault here - my specific words were "Adams is a poorly advised kid with a mouth as big as his talent" - but it's literally Douglas's job to not let things like this happen and spiral out of control as it appears to be. Your opinion that he is a smart GM may be proven correct, and I hope it is, but as yet there's really nothing to demonstrate that.
I understand the desperation of Jets fans to finally get someone in charge who knows what they're doing, but you do have form for jumping the gun on these things and I think you're doing it again.

To be fair to JD Jamal Adams is freaking insane. Let's just say that JD did say he was going to talk an extension with Adams. Adams is purportedly asking for 20 million a year. There's no freaking negotiating with that. The man's absolutely bat excrement insane, I don't see anything that Joe Douglas can do at this point. You either keep him, trade him, or drastically overpay him.
And I think its fairly difficult to trade him until after this season, and I'd be chipping in for a plane to fly around the stadium saying fire Joe Douglas if he pays him anything close to 20 million a year.
I don't have any idea how you deal with this. Outside of due your homework on trade interest. And see if Jamal changes his tune.

I don't think he's insane. I think he's tired of losing and/or wants to play for his childhood team close to home.

i'm all ears on what you think JD should do...he can't put a gag order on Adams like he can with coaches or other office personnel. In fact, JD's kept his cards close to his vest....like any smart GM.
Joe Douglas was a good hire. That's not jumping the gun....that's based on what i've seen so far, and how the rest of the league views him. He's learned under some of the best FO's in the league. Given that i've lived through the Bradway, Tanny, Idzik and Maccagnan years....JD is a clear upgrade until he proves otherwise. His only flaw is that he respects Adam Gase.
He's not responsible for what Adams chirps about on social media....that's on Adams.
-
even if lawrence wasn't a possibility for them, i don't see jacksonville giving up ngakoue AND a first on top for adams. pass rush is a more premium position than safety is, and they probably valuate ngakoue himself close to 2 firsts.
in any deal i think the biggest thing we have going for us RE adams is the fact that he still has several years left on his rookie deal. him stating that any trade would not even be contingent on signing a fat extension actually helps us. he is guaranteed a team two more cost controlled years for one of the best young safeties in the game
i'd do it for ngakoue and a 2nd/3rd, but we are a long ways away from this, and who knows if the situation will still be like this at that time. this thing is going to drag out and if we are to trade him, it'll be sometime later in the summer a la the Khalil Mack situation

You manage people by communicating with them, understanding what they want, working with them to build a plan to deliver both what they want and what you want. If you can't give them what they want, you explain why you can't. You continue communicating with them.
It is possible that he has done all of these things and Adams is lying. It certainly seems the case that he's very emotional and poorly advised. But we have absolutely no evidence that Douglas is handling this as well as he could or should be; we just don't know. I think it's entirely possible that the team has mishandled this, and if that is the case then Douglas is the face of it. Maybe he was handling it perfectly and then the team pulled the rug out from underneath him, which is also possible, but it's still conjecture. That's why I have a problem with the "Douglas good, Adams bad" attitude.

Douglas has been pretty solid in his first year.
And he’s not required to deal directly with the players, that’s what agents are for. Kinda funny that Adams’ agent hasn’t come out with any comment on this so far.
That’s why I’m thinking this is all on Adams until proven otherwise.

It sucks that trading him to the Cowboys is giving this petulant little bitch exactly what he wants, but they do seem to be the team that best matches up in terms of assets.
I'm still not trading him unless its an insane overpay. He has zero leverage.

i dont see how dallas is expected to be able to pay him even eventually. theyre gonna pay dak 35-40 million bucks next year, contract or not(unless he absolutely shits the bed and they cut him loose, which they wont). coupled with an expected lower salary cap and their already shitty deals they have, how can they pay him?

I don't really see how any trade makes sense, because next year's draft is going to be a mess. Are we even going to have a college season? If not, does that mean that players all get an extra year of eligibility? What about players who have redshirted their first year, then played last season, and now declare? How can you judge a player with one season under their belt from over a year ago?
If I'm the Jets I am refusing to even enter trade conversations with anyone unless they're starting with a ludicrous offer including a quality player in their prime with a good contract, because draft picks are worth less this coming year than they ever have been. If Jamal is really going to be hardheaded about it he can sit the season out and we'll just kick his contract down the road.

I think next year's draft being a complete mess will be the reason that Jamal's asking price would have to start at two 1sts.
Unless players come into play in which case anything is fair game

A few additional notes on the Jamal Adams situation as it relates to the #Cowboys according to a source close to the situation. A thread...
1. There is a trust issue with the Jets now. He felt like he has been a team first guy even with coaching changes. (Cont)
Jane Slater

2. He was told they would redo his contract and haven’t. Making him wonder how committed they are to him.
3. He’s willing to bend, as suggested on the contract, and has even considered the money he can make up for whatever he bends on in the Dallas market.
Jane Slater
@SlaterNFL
4. I’m told off the field he’s the type of guy that puts family first, one of the first to leave a party early.
5. Dallas, his hometown, is desired destination.
6. not much new here but worth nothing the “bend” part bc #Cowboys haven’t been overly interested in giving up much
#6 is why he won't end up in Dallas. Go to the highest bidder, Big Doug.
-
I want the best deal too....but Dallas knows Jamal wants to play there. They're gonna lowball the excrement out of JD because of that, and because they're in cap hell.
That's why he think he goes elsewhere. Plus, i want to see him go anywhere but the Cowboys or an AFC East division rival, out of spite.
EDIT: Send him to Detroit for Kenny Golladay, 1st and a 4th (that can escalate to a 3rd)
Detroit is the exact team we should target. Patricia and that Front Office are about to be excrement canned if they don’t win right now. So lost draft capital is a hurdle they either cross later (if they win) or it’s somebody else’s problem. Patricia is also a defensive minded coach, meaning he is more likely to over value a defensive star.
That said they won’t give us any offensive talent. It would be a straight picks payment. But I could see something like a 2021 1st and a 2022 2 and 4.

He stays

We have no idea if Joe Douglas is a good GM or not. I hope he is. We all hope he is.
It's like with Darnold. We HOPE they are the answers. Both have showed some signs. But the grade for both is incomplete.

Haha that’s hilarious. Adams telling people he’s desperate to get out, but like I promise I’ll miss the dudes I’m shafting on my way out

he is definitely not as retarded as AB but this is now reaching AB-level mockery with the excrement he is saying

Just leave him on the roster out of spite.

What a goddamn crybaby
If we were in camp, Steve McLendon would have beaten his derriere by now

To be a fly on Joe Douglas' office wall right now...

It's like he is trying to cause enough noise to get off the roster, yet still have everyone love him.
Instead all that's happening is he is pissing off literally everyone related to the organization.

This is a good way of putting it. If we don't ultimately trade him (which I still think is more likely than not), he's going to have to play the entire season with teammates and coaches he was all too ready to abandon.
That's how this kind of behavior should be rewarded IMO

I don't really care how behavior should be rewarded or not.
I still want to keep him here long-term. If the bridges have been fully burned, trade him for the most value we can get. I don't care if it's Dallas or anyone else. If the offers are essentially identical, then maybe we can screw Jamal by sending him somewhere he wouldn't like, but the Jets should focus on what is best for the Jets.
-
Satisfying the trade request of a malcontent player is a dangerous precedent to set for the team. If we're presented an offer that's worth biting on, so be it, but there is a flip side to this.

You keep saying Joe Douglas has to fix this excrement.....what do you expect him to do? I told you his only recourse from what he's doing right now, is to give in and pay Jamal his price....which is absolutely the wrong approach, especially now with how Jamal has been handled this.
Joe Douglas isn't ditching the problem, he's handling the situation EXACTLY the way he should be handling it given the cirucmstances.

The way to handle it is to sit down with Jamal and figure out a plan of action for both sides, whatever that may be. He's talking on social media because there is no plan in place, or if there is it hasn't been communicated to him, so he's agitating. Your thinking is binary and unsophisticated and not how a professional executive should be handling things.
It is literally Douglas's job to build the best roster possible and creating a situation in which your best player is behaving like this is poor. This doesn't happen at well run clubs; do you think that that's because no other player is unhappy or egotistical?
There's no one person in the wrong here. Adams is behaving poorly as a result of being stuck with a club that has a losing culture that starts from the ownership and is perpetuated by the head coach, and the front office is failing to get control of it.

Yes. Douglas is in charge. The vast majority of this problem goes beyond Douglas, but Adams felt like he was disrespected at the trade deadline, and he feels like the Jets have misled him this offseason.
If we end up selling low on the best player on the team because the organization failed to communicate the way Adams wanted to be communicated with, well, the Jets screwed up. We don't know how to divide the blame between Douglas, Gase, Johnson and Adams. But nobody with the Jets had done anything to deserve the benefit of the doubt, including Douglas.
It's possible the Jets have handled everything the right way. Gauging Jamal's trade value is certainly defensible. And maybe the Jets have been upfront with Adams from the moment this offseason started, and Adams just wants so much money where it's not even worth discussing. But we don't know how Douglas has dealt with Adams this offseason, and we don't really know how he's dealing with him now.
I like Douglas. But I've seen a lot of coaches and GMs and players come through here that were supposed to be the answer. I'm optimistic Douglas can be the guy, but he hasn't proven a thing yet. People liked Maccagnan, too.

No disagreement from me on that one. As I said previously, I wouldn't be remotely surprised if Douglas had told Jamal that they'd sit down and talk contract, and then ownership told him they wouldn't risk giving anyone a pay rise for a season that doesn't get played or has reduced revenues. There was a rumour a while back, although it may have been just Manish noise, that the Jets were running cash poor.
-

His approach to the players kneeling was much more open and reasonable than his Trumpster brother, and many of their peers in the owners' club; he treated the players like adults and was rightly applauded for it. I think it's possible though to separate the man's principles and his ability to run a football team, and judge those things individually.

The pandemic has torched any plans the Jets had, because everything (including the season, the salary cap etc) is up in the air. I know you don't want to hear that (because of your opinions on this pandemic), but it's the truth. It's nice that the NFL is saying they're on schedule to play, but i'll believe it when i see it. In regards to Adams, he needs to read the room a little better, the situation has changed...what he was told in January and around draft time, may have changed over the last 2 months. The Jets are well within their right to do that. Remember, Adams isn't in a contract year, and has zero leverage.
Joe Douglas has gone on record saying Adams was gonna be made a Jet for life, obviously not right away most likely because the world isn't a good place healthwise.
The kid has been a warrior for this team, but he should show a little patience...and start acting like the leader he makes himself out to be.
Joe Douglas shouldn't have to hold Adams' hand through this...he's a grown man. There's nothing to smooth over other than a player acting like an entitled bitch literally at the worst possible time
-

I think that's complete nonsense. Between Adams obscene contract demands and the fact it's extremely rare for a player to get extended thst early. I don't think any good GM would be extending him at this time
I also kinda doubt Douglas would have came here if he had no power to do his job
-

Wait...you don't think Joe Douglas should suck Adams' rooster, hold his hand, and ask if there's anything else he can do for him in his time of need?
maybe we should fire him.
-
If Joe Douglas hasn't communicated with Jamal Adams or his agent since the draft and at least told him they aren't signing him this year or at least explained the change in situation, that is the Jets' fault. Doug may have talked to him and Jamal is bullshitting about no contact regarding a deal, I don't know. I just don't understand why no one talks to each other unless they have and the media doesn't know.
The Jets are a bit hamstung in the media because they can't just come out and call him out in the media if they are in the right. That would blow up what little chance there is of fixing this.
Jamal is being an poopchute, but hopefully someone has at least talked to him since the draft.

I hadn't heard this till now, but it's also a Manish thing. Around the 10 minute mark they discuss how Joe Douglas was told before the pandemic that he would be limited on actual cash to spend this offseason. And thst it likely played a huge role in our free agency moves (ie how they were mostly one year contracts, or disguised one year contracts)
I don't think this has anything to do with the Jamal situation to be honest as he just wasn't due. But it's certainly something that makes a lot of sense in regards to the offseason

I don't believe the Johnsons cash strapped Douglas because of being short on cash. Maybe they did because of the pandemic and uncertainty with the future cap, but I don't know that I believe that either. You can like or dislike the Johnsons, but they have never been cheap.

According to them the mandate came out before covid19. But I haven't seen it reported by anyone other than Manish. Although the Jets free agency moves would seem to support his claim

I think there are a couple of things to consider here. First, it's quite possible that Manish is making things up, he does have form. Secondly though, we have to consider whether we'd rather watch a team with Gase but no Jamal, or Jamal but no Gase.
On that basis, it seems clear that Manish is actually understating things, that Gase has committed a number of actionable offenses against Jamal, his actions are entirely understandable, and we should immediately fire Gase and give Adams his new contract.
Make a good case for why I'm wrong.

Adam Gase has absolutely nothing to do with the franchise not offering Jamal Adams an astronomical amount of money two years too soon.
He's been acting like a gigantic vagina since Manish started rumors about the team trying to trade him.

Gase has also shitted on Manish throughout the year. Manish is most likely just stirring the pot.

If there is truth to Adams' claim that he will play on his current contract for a different team, then his desire to leave is clearly not just about the money and there's something else at play. If we assume that it isn't that a) he hates Gregg, b) he's banging Maye's girfriend, or c) he really hates good pizza, we have to figure out what else it might be.

So Gase's approach to Bell last season was fine and Manish was just being a bitch for how he reported it? Gotcha.

Bell was fine. He has almost 200 more carries than any other ball carrier and he has 66 receptions. The myth that he wasn't used is a god damn joke. He didn't have a great season but no one in our offense did.

He responded like that to Manish because earlier during the presser, he accused Gase of having a burner account on Twitter.

Manish started rumors about the team trying to trade him.

I wouldn't be surprised if Manish is pulling this out of his derriere. I also wouldn't be surprised if Gase was at fault.

Totally. Gase has had some issues with players in the past. Maybe Adams is one of those players now. But Manish is absolutely the type of journalist to float this since it's impossible to prove it wrong.

If Adams couldn't tolerate one single season of a bad head coach without asking for a trade he's a serious bitch.
I highly doubt that's the reason he's crying now, but Gase was with Miami for multiple years so at least they were allowed to whine

Seems pretty clear that Manish is speaking about the locker room, not for it, which is exactly his job. He also doesn't say "all the players", he says "prevailing sentiment". Also, Lewis doesn't say "that's not true, we all love playing for the coach". He's not actually refuting anything Manish has said, just told him to shut up. Can't imagine why a mediocre role player who just managed to get himself a new contract wouldn't want a new coach.

Can't imagine why a mediocre role player who just managed to get himself a new contract wouldn't want a new coach.

I doubt that there has ever been a coach of any sports team ever who has been either universally loved or universally hated. We're talking about a preponderance of feeling, and that's what Mehta clearly stated.

Maybe the Johnsons can trade Manish. They fire Gase and Manish agrees to a lifetime ban from all journalistic subjects and mediums.

Can the franchise bar him from the locker room?
Can you do that to a head coach? Worth a shot.

Lewis: "You don't speak for the locker room or myself. You got no place in the locker room if you are going to overgeneralize all players."
Manish: "The prevailing sentiment in Gang Green's locker room is clear: Players don't respect Gase, who has rubbed them the wrong way"

Cowboys wouldn't. They just paid him a big bonus. And they'd have to give up significant draft picks. And pay the highest paid safety in the league. Even Jurrah isn't that dumb.

DPOY Odds:
Aaron Donald: 6/1
J.J. Watt: 9/1 (horrible value IMHO)
Nick Bosa: 9/1
Khalil Mack: 10/1
Joey Bosa: 14/1
T.J. Watt: 16/1
Chandler Jones: 16/1
Stephon Gilmore: 20/1
Jadaveon Clowney (also horrible value): 22/1
Myles Garrett: 25/1
I notice they didn't even set a number for a certain safety two years out of free agency who wants a market defining contract in the middle of a league economic climate where the cap might actually contract.
Considering Pauline thinks we're starting the year with Edoga at RT mixed in the fact that he's a general retard on his best day, I find that Collins speculation to be horseshit.
-
Not that I bet, but who’s the last S to win DPOY, and when was that? Safeties don’t win the award very often if memory serves, it’s mostly a sacks stat leader award isnt it?

Here’s the thing: I think even the people that defend Adam Gase would be fine with this. It’s not like we would end up with a worse HC. Maybe he is a good coach, I really don’t care to continue the experiment, cross my fingers and hope that all the signs pointing to the contrary are false.

The crying about Gase is ridiculous.
The dudes either gonna have some measurable amount of success this year or get fired.
To act like there's a chance we're going to fire him in freaking July is crackpot
Gase is the Jets coach for at least most of this season. All we can hope for is a clear sign of feast or famine and not murky bullshit.

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to the "Fire Gase" crowd if the arguments for doing so weren't nonsensical.

Here is the truth...
- Hiring a head coach is a crapshoot
- Knowing whether you have a good head coach takes atleast 3 years (See Bowles and Rex)
- Hiring and Firing coaches every 3 years will not result in success
- There are no surefire candidates who want to come to the Jets
Let Gase have this year and then we can talk.
I'll go back to my exercise. If there are so many better options, name 10 great coaches in the NFL that you'd be happy to have. No one on this board will be able to agree on 10.

We don't have to agree on 10 guys who will be great.
All we have to know is that the guy we have isn't gonna get it done. If that's true, then we need to try and find a different one. Based on Gase's 4 years as a HC between Miami and NY, many people, myself included believe that he can't be the guy. As long as people believe that about a coach, they will want him gone. Same was true of Bowles, Rex, Mangini etc.
If Gase can't improve the offense and help Sam develop, he needs to be shown the door, sooner rather than later. If we fired him tomorrow I sure as excrement wouldn't be complaining. Williams could run the team in the interim and I don't think many jets fans would be too disappointed.

Yeah that was pretty much a large part of my argument for #KeepRex, thank you for reminding me
-

You guys need to stop this. Gase isn't a rookie HC (Bowles was to some degree because he's only had the interim tag, and Rex was a rookie HC)
Before Gase, we've hired rookie HCs all the way back to Parcells.
Gase doesn't need 3 years to prove himself here....he's shown what he's capable of in Miami. And it was nothing to write home about.

It's not the head coaches job to deal with a specific side of the ball, it's to make the tough decisions necessary to see the team find success.
Gase has shown (to me and many other board guys) that he isn't up to that task. Williams is NOT the long term answer. But as a guy who has a track record of strong defenses and previous HC experience, he is about as good as you could ask for in the interim.

Only four defenders drafted in the first round since 2011—J.J. Watt, Robert Quinn, Patrick Peterson, and Luke Kuechly—have gotten contract extensions after their third seasons.

Adams is one of three top-10 picks from the 2017 draft to make an All-Pro team, along with Mahomes and McCaffrey who have both gotten extensions.

Good. I agree with Bell. freaking pay the man. You're not setting an unreasonable precedent - he's an elite player, arguably the most standout talent we've had at any position since Revis. Anyone not demonstrating the same level of ability as Jamal can freak off if they try and pull the same stunt, but we should be doing everything necessary to make this guy a Jet for a very long time.
-
Get it done.

It'll be interesting if there is some movement on the players requesting a spread of the 2020 COVID losses over 10 years. If that happens and there is all of a sudden some clarity on the cap for next year, you may see the Jets make an offer this year.

Not only does Adams want to get paid while under team control for 3 years, he wants the kind of deal you probably still wouldn't get as an UFA.

Yeah but I don't put up my house for a million if I'm willing to accept 700,000.
The Jets literally hold all the cards. The only way Jamal should get an extension is if it's a very reasonable and team friendly one.
I think the ceiling for any Adams contract should basically be the absolute bare minimum over Eddie Jackson just to satisfy his ego. Especially considering we have Adams under team control for one more year than the bears did Jackson, and safety is one of the few positions we actually have good depth at. And the only way I'm good with that for Adams is if we still get to exercise his 5th year rookie option and basically spread the cap hit over 6 years.

That's literally how you sell houses. And in fact pretty much everything in a non-retail environment. Every business has a list price for its product, and every business is willing to negotiate on that list price. Think of each player as an individual business, with a product to offer (their play).
The Jets literally hold all the cards. The only way Jamal should get an extension is if it's a very reasonable and team friendly one.
Well, they don't. Jamal holds the nuclear option, which is "freak you I'm not playing". It hurts him as much or more as it does the Jets, but it still hurts us plenty.

I agree that Jackson is probably a good negotiation point, that Jamal is worth a bit more, and that we should be spreading the cap hit as best we can. Pretty sure Jamal doesn't care what we do with the cap hit. He wants to get paid and he knows he's good enough to demand it. The headscratcher is that the Jets think an extra year of cheap Jamal is worth fighting for at the likely cost of us having his career.

So he'd essential be nuking himself with the knowledge that the Jets would also get somewhat caught up in the nuclear aftermath.
Not so much the wisest negotiating/business tactic.

How many people have you known accept an offer for a house more than 25 to 30% off the listing price?
Sure you take offers less than asking, but if someone's asking price is batshit crazy you put everyone off.
And Jamals demands are freaking insane.
And Jamals freak you I'm not playing hurts him WAY WAY more than the Jets.
He's under team control for 3 years. And he's made relatively paltry earnings in the grand scheme of his career.
Sure he will walk away with a few million, but he'd be leaving probably close to 10 times more than be made on the table.
The Jets on the other hand would hurt losing a player of his calibur, but we already have a potential replacement on the roster.
He can cut off one of the Jets fingers, but the price he would pay would be losing both his legs

That damned NFL CBA unfairly singling out Jamal giving him a uniquely inexpensive rookie contract.
It's probably because they're racist and his name is Jamal.
-
Okay, but that doesn't change the fact he still hasn't made much money and he's severely outplayed his contract.
The Jets owe it to him and themselves to listen to what he wants in a contract. The Jets have a ton of leverage, so they don't have to do anything.
But if Jamal is desperate enough, he can play dirty by sitting out or causing internal issues. I don't think he will, which is why the Jets probably won't budge, but if Jamal is so desperate to get paid right now, he can do things to try to make that happen. Demanding a trade to a team that he thinks will pay him is one way to do it. Sitting out is another. Pulling a Jalen Ramsey and faking injuries and being a pain in the derriere is another. I can't blame him for trying to get paid. I don't like the way he's gone about it, but I assume he will play like his normal self this year regardless.

That's the point of the cba, every player follows the same rules. And good rookies will outplay their rookie contracts. Far better dudes haven't gotten new contracts paying them a bajillion dollars either.
Lamar Jackson was literally the MVP and is a QB last year. Sure he got drafted a year after Adams, but you don't see him crying that he deserves to be paid like the most valuable player in the league and that he wants a 10 year contract like Mahomes.
Adams has outplayed his contract, but he sure as freak hasn't earned the one he wants
-
No one knows for sure what Jamal is asking for in a contract and no one one knows for sure what the Jets' stance is on extending him. It's all speculation.
My personal theory is that the front office fully intended on offering Adams a contract extension following the draft but then the pandemic happened forcing the team to revise/delay those plans. Joe Douglas then either communicated this to Adams or didn't (I'm more inclined to believe that he did because I don't think he's incompetent), leading Adams to become upset (believing he was misled) and to throw a tantrum on social media (ultimately requesting a trade to demonstrate just how upset he was). Douglas then spoke to him again to calm him down (as did some of his teammates apparently) and that's why he's been relatively quiet ever since.
-
With Mahomes and now Garrett signing extensions it is going to be harder to tell Adams he can't get an extension this year.
-

i don't think it should be harder given that those 2 players play at more premium and important positions than jamal does, but i still want him to get re-signed
i believe it was JE that said it initially; despite the tantrum he's thrown, it wouldn't set a poor precedent to give jamal his money. our organization unfortunately comes across a player of jamal's calibre once every 10-15 years, and if any other player tries to pull this excrement, it will likely be much easier to cut ties with them than it will be with jamal, given that that player will likely not be as good as jamal
if sam comes good and deserves a payday then we won't be fvckin around with the face of our organization like that anyways RE contractual negotiations, and we don't have a premium pass rusher to worry about paying. we haven't had one of those in 15 years
-

A former #1 overall pick that plays a premium position and an NFL MVP and Super Champion QB getting extensions has nothing to do with Jamal Adams.
If he thinks so, he's delusional.

If I'm understanding this correctly, Garrett signed an extension. That means he's still playing out the fourth year of his rookie contract, he's just got a excrement ton of money waiting for him the year after. I'm sure that some of it will be accelerated, but why wouldn't we want to do this with Jamal?

Because he's under team control for the next 3 years.
I don't know if you remember the last two mega contracts we gave to home grown best players on the team. But both of them worked out incredibly poorly for us.
So there's a very clear and obvious precedent that suggests that there is and can be a great deal of risk in giving out huge contracts. Especially to do so years in advance
The potential downsides of such a contract for Adams are numerous (overpaying, injury risk, him being a malcontent, butt hurt about losing, losing motivation etc)
The potential upsides? It strokes his penis and makes him feel better?
From a football standpoint the only freaking reason you extend Jamal right now is if it's on very favorable terms for the tem.
To give him a huge apology contract for no obvious other reason is just being a bad GM

-
I wouldn't be surprised if he held out until week 10 and came back to get an accrued season. Especially with the virus stuff. Then again, he'd pay so much in fines for missed time it might cancel out his salary.
-
It wouldn't count as an accrued season anymore. The rules changed. He won't hold out
Yet another disincentive to skip training camp for players would be the league’s ability to strip players of an accrued season if they fail to show up for training camp on time or if they leave for more than five days. This is a huge difference from the rule currently on the table, which only requires that a player under contract show up within 30 days of the team’s first game.

Lol, I think he's just leaning into his role in this tiny sliver of the internet as a forum jester/punching bag, and it somehow gives him a bit of purpose and provides us with some chuckles. Lord bless him, we all need hobbies, and sometimes the hobby is low-level trolling.
He might also be a wall-licking dumbfuck, I'm not positive.

This and the Woody Johnson tweets are more attempts to pee the leadership off in order to give in and just trade him.
That said I agree whole-heartedly with both his takes. Fire Gase and Make Woody sell the team are things I can get behind.

Manish whipping up a batch of excrement stew.
This whole thing has been spectacularly mishandled by the Jets. Douglas isn't exempted either.
We're going to watch the most talented player we've had in a decade walk out the door in exchange for a couple of draft picks because our entire organisation is run by clueless amateurs.

freak Adams. freak Manish and freak the Jets, in that order. Jamal is just toxic. I really want him out of the team... at the right price. I don’t buy the “he’s just frustrated and wants to win”, anymore. freaking moron.

A strong safety/linebacker hybrid that undoubtedly went to Manish Mehta to create trouble within the organization.
Great, non-premium position player that has become a cancer to the organization.

As I have been at pains to say about both Douglas and previous incumbents in the role, it takes time for a GM to be judged. I remember when you were all jerking yourselves raw about Idzik as well.
This was the first significant test of Douglas's tenure, and he is failing it badly. There is absolutely no doubt that Gase and the Johnsons are making it difficult for him, but it's clear that Douglas has played his own role in making things worse.
-

No, it's not.

I did. I buy 50% of it. He says a lot of bullshit in general. He’s obviously immature and doesn’t know how to handle emotions. He’s not even got to his fourth year. I’m not discharging Douglas and Gase of blame, but Adams is the biggest problem in this situation.

I disagree. The first significant test of Douglas's tenure was the draft, and we won't know if he hit that out of the park until we see how the players do on the field.

He is making this a bigger problem than it needs to be.

No, it's not.

Given we don't yet know how well he did in those, this is the first one upon which we can judge him. He's getting an F.

You also thought Manish was making it up, and you were wrong then as well.

Friendly Reminder: the reporting structure in this franchise is retarded. Gase being on the same level as Douglas with both reporting directly to the Johnsons isn't ideal...and i think this comes into play when laying blame.

-
Here, let me help you along the journey:
He’s lost his sources ever since Maccagnan left the building. He hasn’t really been right since.
I judge cases in a case to case basis. Our FO has usually sucked but that’s irrelevant with this. On this particular one I don’t see how the hell the Jets are guilty of anything. He has 2 more years in his contract FFS. The season hasn’t even started. There was a freaking pandemic around. Sorry but it just doesn’t hold.
I don’t know how anyone in this world can think that this is somehow the Jets’ fault. We’re months away from the beginning of the season, the guy has two years on his contract and he’s been crying and whining in social networks for months now. His attitude is just ridiculous.
-
I’ve worked in sports for more than 20 years now and only in extremely rare occasions successful teams have leaders that complain to the press about their personal and contract issues thus muddling the ambiance of the teams. The good ones do it surgically and know when and how to get reactions. Of course I also know that usually teams that constantly have excrement coaches win anything, so there’s that, but leaders and captains just act differently. He doesn’t. He doesn’t give a freak about anyone but himself. Those players are toxic, as good as they can be on the field. In my ideal scenario both Adams and Gase are gone. We get a real coach and real leaders.
-
Here, let me help you along the journey:
I stand with what I said. Douglas could have handled it better but, for me, is Adams who has been in the wrong all this time. Ah, and Manish said that Gase was THE reason why Adams wanted out. He’s not, he wouldn’t have cared about Gase if he got paid. And that paints him entirely.
-
Jamal Adams questioning someone's leadership after acting like a child all offseason is incredibly ironic.
It's funny that you love putting the boot into Adams for failing to be a leader despite him being a player still on his rookie contract, and yet continue to excuse Gase for the same failing despite him being a veteran coach whose actual job it is to be a leader.

It's also not Adam Gase's job to handle contract situations.
Jamal Adams calls himself a leader and a captain all the time, but when has he acted like one this offseason? He's acted selfishly since the season ended.
No one has excused Gase or Douglas from this situation, but Adams is more at fault than anyone.
-
Darrelle Revis is 1000% the player Jamal Adams will ever be and I don't remember him ever going to the press to throw his front office or coaches under the bus.
Adams wants things his way and he doesn't deserve that. He's literally complaining about Adam Gase not making speeches at halftime. That's not how football actually works. You meet with your position coaches to fix the problem and get back out there.
-
It's also not Adam Gase's job to handle contract situations.
No, that's Douglas's, and you're defending him as well. It is Gase's job as head coach though to manage player psychology, and he hasn't spoken to the best player on the team since his exit interview in January.
Jamal Adams calls himself a leader and a captain all the time, but when has he acted like one this offseason? He's acted selfishly since the season ended.
Has he been on the field or in the locker room this offseason? Because that's where he's expected to be a leader, and he has yet to fail at that. He's getting treated like excrement by a shambolic club staffed by imbeciles who are all apparently incapable of delivering on the most basic requirements of their role. I don't give a freak what he calls himself on Twitter, stringing him along with promises of a contract offer that don't materialise and failing to even pick up the phone to talk to him are inexcusable failures.

I am definitely defending Joe Douglas and he hasn't done anything wrong. Jamal Adams is under contract.
Has he been on the field or in the locker room this offseason?
He should be expected to lead at all times if he wants to be one of the highest paid players in the NFL.

It is if your starting point is "how can I make sure that Gase and Douglas are held absolutely blameless in this mess they've made?" As has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread, if the team were well run and/or successful then Adams probably wouldn't have started asking for a new contract at this stage. His position is that if he's going to be stuck on this shambles of a franchise working for these clowns, then he wants big money to do so - hence the story about him being willing to play out his rookie deal for the right team.
So yes, if he got his big contract then he probably wouldn't be complaining about Gase, because he'd be getting paid to put up with him. Gase isn't an excuse for wanting out, he's one of the main reasons.

Man, if you could pin Covid on Gase, you would. I think it’s quite clear that nobody wants him here, so let’s get that out of our systems. In this case, I’m sorry but he’s the one with the least blame. He sucks but Adams would have perfectly played for him, he’s made that point abundantly clear. As for the rest of the blame we can agree to disagree, but that doesn’t make Adams less of a toxic figure on this team.

If the coach is actually doing his job we wouldn't even hear about dirty laundry like this publicly. Tomlin was able to reign in Brown for years and we didn't see what a circus he really was till he went to Oakland.
-
Also, let's not ignore the fact that the Jets apparently have cashflow issues that are influencing contract decisions.
It's one thing to be so clueless about football that you're incapable of hiring good staff, but to be so excrement at running a business that you can't make money from owning an NFL team? Just freaking sell already.

Imagine defending Gase when he cucked Mike Maccagnan after working with him for 3-4 months. He saw that he was incompetent and did what he had to do to save his own derriere. This is the same thing.
Id really like if Adams didn’t have to go through the media to make his point, but his alternative is shutting up and playing football for the next 2 years for a losing team with a shithead of a coach with serious doubts of a long term future here. Joe Douglas exacerbated this via the trade deadline last year and then saying Jamal would be a “Jet for life”, that they were opening contract negotiations, and then ghosting him for months and re-neging on the contract negotiation.
A lot of us thought/think that Gase is a excrement person and a excrement coach. Jamal confirming it isn’t mindblowing unless you’re a Jets homer.

I'm pretty sure Chris Johnson just had enough with over paying for talent and getting back nothing in return for it. Look at the awful shitty contracts Maccagnan gave out in his short time here. Wilkerson, Trumaine Johnson, Bell, Mosley, Enunwa all got paid and we got nothing out of any of them. So I understand his limiting what the team is spending these days. Unfortunately Chris Johnson doesn't know much about making good decisions for a football team so it seems so him putting the kill on paying Jamal will probably cause a rift between Jamal and the organization which will never be repaired, especially when you consider Adams has the maturity of a preteen.

All his sources left the building and he hasn't got anything right except for when his source is the actual player himself and he's telling everything exactly as it is.
Mehta is telling you that the players don't like Gase and the player is saying he doesn't like Gase and your view is that it's all just made up and they're lying and it's not actually true.
Got it.

I did not say that. I said a couple of months ago that all of Manish's sources left the building and it seemed to be true because he was getting a lot of excrement wrong. When I said that, it was because he published that Adams was leaving the team because of Gase, which is just not true. You're trying to be a dickhead just to be right. So be it. You're right in everything. Adams is just a victim of the circumstances, everyone else is an idiot and sucks, including me. Happy now?

All he has to say is "I want a trade out of the team, I'm not happy about how much I'm getting paid and I want a trade to a better team who will pay me". There's literally zero mileage in saying "I want out because the head coach is no good", it's not going to accelerate his departure and it's not going to improve his chances of getting a big deal somewhere else.
I feel like contorting yourself into justifying a reason for him saying this other than it actually being true is a weirdly perverse view. Manish said it a couple of months ago, people screamed about how it wasn't true because Manish, now Jamal comes out and says "actually it is true" and people are still trying to convince themselves that it's not because.... reasons?

He's leaving because he's not getting paid. He's been abundantly clear about that. Of course, it doesn't help that the coach sucks, but he would play for him regardless if he were paid. The thing is, I already said that like 20 posts ago, and you replied. Did you just forget?

EXACTLY. And that's the thing. He's not clever and he's not acting in any logical way. He's extremely selfish and just letting his emotions override him again. On the field that's great, off it, is extremely stupid. But that's the way he is. 🤷🏽♂️

No. You appear to still be trying to argue that Adams isn't leaving because of Gase, despite the undeniably clear statement to the contrary. I'm not sure what you're struggling with here - he doesn't want to play on a excrement team with a excrement coach for rookie money. He has said that he will play on a good team with a good coach for rookie money, or for our excrement team with our excrement coach for big money. As we appear to be willing to fix neither problem, he wants out.
Let's summarise here: he's the best player on a playoff calibre defense that was continually let down by the worst offense in the league despite that being the head coach's department and supposed expertise. The head coach has made no effort to work with him or even talk to him, numerous players on that unit have been mistreated and/or alienated by said head coach, the prospects for this season aren't looking any better. He'd be willing to suck it up and wait for the inevitable dismissal of that head coach as long as the team pays him to once again spend a season putting the offense on his back and that of his defensive teammates, and the team indicated that they would do that and then ghosted him and strung him along.
And this is his fault somehow and nothing to do with Gase or Douglas?
-
Whatever you say man. You win. I'm out.
-
Jamal Adams is more at fault than any of the three.
The Johnsons probably have a lot more to do with this than anyone, but Adams and his agent have botched this.
-

No one has clean hands, but Adams is the only who comes out winning. Gase has been shown up once more as completely unsuited to the job he's in, Douglas has dropped the ball and will now be judged on what he gets in return as well as have to explain to other players both on the team and that he wants on the team why he couldn't look after an elite talent, the Johnsons look like cheap fucks uninterested in making their club successful despite being billionaires.
Meanwhile, Jamal's going to be on a better team with better coaching and more money.

I agree.
He has come out and asked for a trade through the media. That hasnt worked. So now he is trying other things, through tweets on social media and now by throwing Gase under the bus. If that doesnt work, he will probably go after Douglas or the ownership.
Really disappointed Adams did this, but if he is going to be a malcontent, we might have to get rid of him, which would be a real shame.
It does put even more pressure on Gase. Between his mediocre track record, fan sentiment, and now this, he probably has an unofficial playoff mandate at this point.

Adams has handled this about as poorly as one could. He's almost certainly ruined his leadership status with the Jets locker room and needs to be traded at this point--both for his sake and ours.
Douglas should've handled this better. He's handled it very poorly. But the one thing I'll give him is that he's clearly hamstrung by the Johnsons.
Adam Gase is garbage. Both as a coach, and as a person. Let's stop with the giving him any benefit of the doubt at this point. Benefit of the doubt comes with either being completely new in a situation or having bought yourself clout in the past. Gase fits neither qualification.
-
The endgame here should be Adams is traded for as much value as we can get, Gase is fired before the season, promote Greg Williams to interim coach, and allow Douglas to choose his own guy come January.
-
I agree.
He has come out and asked for a trade through the media. That hasnt worked. So now he is trying other things, through tweets on social media and now by throwing Gase under the bus. If that doesnt work, he will probably go after Douglas or the ownership.
Really disappointed Adams did this, but if he is going to be a malcontent, we might have to get rid of him, which would be a real shame.
It does put even more pressure on Gase. Between his mediocre track record, fan sentiment, and now this, he probably has an unofficial playoff mandate at this point.
Doesn't that lead to a rather obvious conclusion? Taking the best player from a poor team and putting additional pressure on an already poor coach to achieve even more than he already looks like he's going to be able to do leads us to the inevitable point of next April, where we have a new head coach and the picks that we got in exchange for Jamal, which won't be enough to get us a player as good as Jamal.
Or, we could just pay Jamal and fire Gase now, and then we'll go into the 22 season with Jamal Adams and a head coach who has already had a year to get things moving in the right direction.
Keeping Gase based upon your probably pretty reasonable surmise is the classic gambler's fallacy.

i posted this gif a few pages back...it's the perfect illustration of where Adams is at in this situation

I call bullshit. George is dragging a championship trophy behind him.
-
Here's the biggest issue with our team: the best player is a strong safety in an offensive-minded league
Our best player needs to be Sam Darnold or we're likely going to suck. We need to get him all the help possible, and if trading Adams does that, so be it.
This team sucks because we can't block and we can't score points.
We've had solid defenses for as long as I can remember, and the team still usually sucks.
-
He's been saying this for weeks now. He's taking it to the next level.
I'm not saying it's true or not true...I'm not in the room. I'm just saying I believe Adams is at the point where he'll join the klu klux klan if it meant a trade out of new york.
I said this a page or two ago...
Adams publically pissing on Gase and Woody Johnson are only going to influence those guys to want him out of the building. When the head coach and the owner come knocking on Douglas' door and say "get this guy the hell out of here" it's going to happen. Adams is absolutely making the play to get out of NY.
Whether he truly believes the things he is saying, no one can be sure, but he's definitely airing it publically to try and get the hell out of dodge. That much is definitely true.
-
I think Jamal needs to be benched for the season opener.
Douglas runs this team not freaking Jamal and someone needs to remind him or that. This isn't about Gase, this isn't about winning. This is about Jamal and his fragile little ego

If we are going to keep him on the roster, then he needs to be on the field, that's the only benefit to Jamal Adams being a Jet right now.
I suspect that once TC begins, Jamal will be 'all football' / 'all business' and won't be bitching in the media. If that's true, by the time week 1 rolls around, it's not going to be at the forefront of the minds of people and he should be on the field.
Also Douglas doesn't 'run this team.' Like it or not, that's Gase's job. Douglas job is to build the team. Gase has to manage the players/egos and everything else and turn them into a cohesive unit.

seems to be about as good as could be expected from this excrement show

In two years he will have got Jamal traded and severely damaged Sam's development, and yet there will still be people defending him.

Honestly, as much as I hate the idea of trading Jamal, I don't think his trade value was getting any better. Two firsts was always a tough ask, and they got it.
I hate this, but this was the package we needed to get the deal done.

The trade sucks, this entire organization sucks and needs to be burned to the ground. They did everything wrong here an I am kind of sick of them. I would have rather kept a homegrown superstar player than trade him for 2 back end 1st round picks that the team is going to freak up anyway. From what I have gathered the Jets did most everything wrong here, not that JA was in the right to not spout off. He brought a swagger to the team.
To be clear:
He should look for a new contract, players don't last long and have every right to look for due compensation, so I am ok with that. I am not ok with how either side handled matters, they were both wrong but the Jets handled this about as bad as I ever saw. Good for them, maybe this is the bottom. I would say it can't get worse but with the absolute worst coach in the NFL, it probably will go further south.

Considering the return we got, this absolutely could have gone worse
-
We got two 1st-round picks, a replacement starter, and an upgraded other pick for a guy who didn't want to be here anymore.
The Jets weren't good enough to win a title this year barring everything going right. This sets us up great for the future if we can draft well.
The best way to build around a young QB is to win in his rookie contract. We aren't quite ready for that. The next-best way is to have a lot of young cost-controlled talent around him. If we draft well, we can get that. It gives us a ton of flexibility going forward, too.
-
It does suck and our team is considerably worse than it was yesterday. We still have a horrible owner and a horrible coach. That’s absolutely true and it’s very depressing. Now, Douglas could be a good one. Yeah, he probably fucked up the Adams situation, and I hope he learns from the experience, but he got a great haul from a very malcontent strong safety and kept with the idea of building a strong culture.
-
Considering the return we got, this absolutely could have gone worse
Seriously. When we shopped Jamal Adams at the trade deadline last year, this was the type of return that I would have been satisfied with. I still didn't want to do it then, but times have changed.
Since then, Adams has done everything he could to torpedo his trade value and try to take leverage away from the Jets. Instead, we got just as good a deal as I was willing to settle for 9 months ago before Jamal asked out and torched the organization and before a pandemic that could mess up the salary cap.
-
Texted my dad about the deal. "Great deal. freak him."

Every twitter putz was saying the starting bids should’ve been a 1st rounder and a 3rd pick....
Been saying since day 1 that 2 first rounders was the floor. Joe Douglas did well here...lets continue to build that offense in the draft.

And Jamal gets covid and aids

This relationship was unrepairable it is stupid to think otherwise. No amount of money was going to fix this.

Yep. Teams could get ravaged by COVID. Lots of randomness this year. Odds are, Seattle will be very good this year and next, but you never know. Plus, there's always a chance a 31-32-year old 5'11" QB finally gets hurt behind a shaky line.

This is actually an interesting take. If college football doesnt happen, which is likely the case the drafting a good player becomes much harder

Having all these picks should attract a good HC after Gase gets fired.

That's a major concern of mine
But picks will be at a premium because of presumably unique cap restraints. And I'd imagine with Seattle likely picking late, it does increase the odds of what have been a top 10 draft pick falling to the end of the first since nobody could evaluate talent properly.
I'd rather have a pick in a normal year, but this is definitely uncertainty

The original reason Adams was upset at the tram was because he wanted to remain on the team for the rest of his career and the listened to trafe offers right after telling him they wanted him here forever.
When they didn't follow up on a co tract extension he got mad and posted about it on the internet. I didn't like seeing it but the amount of vitriol that followed it from the fan base was in no way in proportion.
The argument that he was being selfish by asking for an extension while under a rookie deal seems null when multiple players received extensions from the same draft class this off-season at different positions.
The ultimate point I cannot get passed is the anger expressed toward him because he wanted to get paid what he thought was his value and stay on this team his whole career.
We don't know for sure what he was asking for but we know that Adams said the team never even tried to negotiate with him and the front office has done little to refute this, only making public statements that seemed to kick the can further down the road.
This smacks of ownership meddling, something that has wasted this team's few opportunities at success since Woody Johnson purchased this team. I have no reason to think Joe Douglas was on board with the ownership plan but I have no reason to be unequivocally loyal to a guy who has been here for only one season after the cycle of hope to despair to anger back to hope we've had since Bradway was first demoted and then allowed to stay with the team for another decade. The last time we traded off a stellar secondary player we ultimately got nothing back for him in return. I don't see a reason to think that this won't happen again.

Except you know, he didn't want or need an extension to get traded. Nor will Seattle be giving him one this season
Jamal wanted a record setting contract as a strong safety, while under team control for 3 years, while there's talks about the salary cap getting slashed 70 million next year
Jamals a prissy bitch
Also you can't get the anger? Jets fans went through this exact freaking scenario pretty recently. It's the Revis situation all over. Best player on team, becomes delusional thinking they shouldn't be paid what their position is worth but views themself as a player that transcends the game. Starts acting like a premadonna and forces the team to trade them.
It's the Revis excrement all over again, fans can and should be angry towards Jamal. There's literally zero freaking reason Joe Douglas should have extended him, unless he wanted to bend over and take a team friendly deal. Instead he viewed himself as Tom Brady, Aaron Donald, and Khalil Mack

Good fuckin riddance. The compensation is also out of this world. JE's comments about this being Douglas' first real test as a GM, I'd say he has passed with flying colors given the hand and dance partner he has had to deal with. The only negative part is that this happened after the draft, but again, it's not like it was in Douglas' hands.

He was annoying on social media for most of this offseason, but I didn't want to see him traded until the Manish Mehta interview.
That was completely unprofessional and leaders should not go out of their way to smear their franchise.
It couldn't be fixed after he took shots at both Gase and Douglas. People overlooked the first tantrum he threw when someone leaked the Jets shopping him at last years deadline. He whined about Douglas then too.

Agreed, but that's social media for you. Jets fans are particularly bad, but every fanbase sucks if you look for the negatives. People were awfully quick to turn on him.
Jets fans always seem to support management when players want to get more money. Then when the players eventually get out, we lament how crappy management is.

It would be a prime burning candidate if there were games this year.
Fans burning jerseys is almost always a self-own

Adams wants to be the highest paid safety of all-time.
While the Jets might have some cap space, they aren't good enough to invest that much money into a non-premium position.
This team lacks talent at pass rusher and corner on defense and our offensive line and receivers are still a huge question mark.

“They're a couple drafts away from contending”
You could definitely find this same quote from the offseason they drafted Jamal
-
Two firsts, a third, AND a capable starter is an exceptionally good haul for someone who was actively burning down the locker room.
Everything about this offseason suggests Joe Douglas wants to be well-equipped with cap space and draft picks in 2021 and beyond while still protecting and developing Darnold. That's the right philosophy. Our success in the 20's depends on who we can lure in at HC, not who we can pay at SS.

We'll be fine without Jamal. We have a capable DC to scheme around it. Our defense will take a little hit, but well worth it. I'm excited about this haul.

Wow. That was a great read.
Under the circumstances, this was a terrific trade. I'm still annoyed we got this far, but this was always the type of offer it would require for the Jets to deal Adams. The fact we were still able to get it under these circumstances is a great job.
-
Pros:
Yuge haul. Almost the same compensation as the Raiders got for Khalil Mack. Russ gets hurt and this deal changes bigtime.
Replaced Jamal with a solid safety in the deal for this year. Not forced to start Davis or bring back Big Head.
PR nightmare solved. Distraction gone.
Cons:
Lost an elite safety.
I have a feeling Big Doug is gonna flip those firsts for a million other picks in the draft.

Not sure how anyone can justify paying Jamal Adams north of $17M a season (before his rookie deal is up) when we have so many other holes on this roster.
He acted like an entitled punk the moment he didn't get his way. He isn't the only one at fault here, but like I said right after the trade went down, as soon as that Manish interview posted, it was all over.
Adams did that on his own.

Joe Douglas did extremely well here. This wasn't the first time Jamal Adams threw him under the bus either. He tried to after the 2019 NFL Trade Deadline. That was the start of all of this.
Entitled whiner with a loser's mentality. It was time to move on. He turned into a cancerous player, unfortunately.

Adams did that on his own.
He started acting like a punk after he met with team leadership and they told him that he was part of their long term plans, and then a week later he heard from someone outside of the organization that he was being considered in a trade. The Jets didn’t have any loyalty to Jamal and at that point I can’t say I blame him for losing his patience with and loyalty to a poorly run organization that he had given his all for.
After the contract extension excrement, I don’t blame him for forcing his hand. Joe Douglas is an absolute clown for uttering the words “Jet for life” and then going about negotiations the way he did.

Can we get someone to convince him God wants him to sit out this year?

Joe Douglas is an absolute clown for uttering the words “Jet for life” and then going about negotiations the way he did.
"The plan is for Jamal to be a Jet for Life"
Jamal then proceeds to excrement on JD, his head coach, and the multi-billionaire that owns the franchise that he wants a record-setting contract from.
Maybe the plan was to extend Jamal Adams eventually...he just didn't handle things the right way and it never got to that point.

Aside from Yannick Ngakoue arguing with Shad Khan on Twitter, whens the last time we've seen a player on a rookie deal publicly whine and bitch as much as Adams has in the last year?
-
Me-first
Le'Veon Bell's latest tweets seem to paint that picture too, behind the scenes.
-
True, but based on the current reality, this was a great trade. Duff would have flipped him for a 4th rounder and a punter.
It was a good trade. Maybe we’re better off. It was still an absolute dumpster fire of a timeline to go from the 2019 trade deadline to today.

He still gets a pass from me for trying to get the Jets to sign Kliff Kingsbury (huge douche) over Adam Gase (talentless and incompetent coach)
-
I would have started bitching on social media to get out of NY the minute the Jets were foolish enough to announce Gase as HC 🤷
NFL careers are short and I would have no desire playing my prime years for a coach you know is terrible and a team that has shown zero ability to improve
-
Great return for a great player who purposely wore out his welcome.
Awful that it ever got to this point. This organization is poorly run apart from (possibly) Douglas.
Gase has to go. Then we can start talking about "rebuilding."

We actually got more than Oakland got for Khalil Mack.
Chicago gave up two firsts, a third, and a sixth for Mack, a future second, and a future fifth.
Seattle gave up two firsts, a third, and Bradley McDougald for Adams and a future fourth.
When you factor in how early/late in the first the draft picks will be, it's very likely Oakland got more than us by quite a bit

Well, those first rounders weren’t that high, they were 24 and 19 of their respective drafts. We might get the same or a bit worse, but not too much.
-
i don't even have the time to take all of this in right now. i think it's a good deal, but good deal or not i will always vehemently disagree with excrement like this
it reeks something awful when you foster an environment where your best/most talented players, players that you've helped develop and are home grown no less, do not wish to stay with the team for the long term. it doesn't matter who is part of the regime or in charge, this continually happens to us, this isn't the first time, it happens with every regime. it happens every 2-4 years. it starts from the top
it's a good deal, but i don't care about the picks. i don't care who the picks will be or what they will become. jamal adams was one of those 'picks' in 2017. he turned into something great. jamal was 'a character guy at every level', 'a winner', etc blah blah blah who turned sour because of the culture and environment present around this franchise. i don't care about the picks. the end product of these picks 5 years from now will likelier be a trade away from us than it will be a super bowl. a competent organization doesn't let excrement get this bad once; it keeps happening to us and it's going to keep happening.
-

True but barring extremely bad luck id imagine we end up with like 26 and 30 or something like that
Of course this coming year is a ultimate crapshoot

This is one if the points that has stuck with me through my years of rooting for the team. I remember Kareem McKenzie saying this explicitly after he signed with the Giants. The one common thread I can find is the Johnson family. Woody and Christopher Johnson are far too meddling as owners and are just generally some shady motherfuckers. I really want them out as owners.

And that's why I like what Joe Douglas wants to implement on this team. He has always talked about how important is to have the right culture. He chose a lot of team captains on the draft and when he's traded it's been for players who have also leadership traits and don't seem to be "me-first". Thats also why I wanted Jamal out almost since he started whining. We can hate Tom Brady and Bill Belichick all we want, but they have always put the team before the players. Brady has played for a lot less than his value would indicate (probably with under the table payments, but who cares). Same case for the Saints, same case for the Seahawks so far. Jamal is an amazing player and it was great to have him here, but you can't build around that emotional trainwreck (FTR, I think he'll do better in Seattle because he's not going to be one of the leaders there). Of course, you can't build around a horrendous, self absorbed coach but if we have the right core of players, and Douglas knows a bit of what he's doing, the next coach will have something good to build upon.
... Or Douglas will actually be excrement or resign in a year to go to the Dolphins, because we're the Jets, but I don't want to be slicing my wrists just yet.

He deserved to be paid , but went about it in the worst way possible . Im just glad we found out he can't be a good leader if the team.usmt winning , therefore, hes not a good leader .
pre COVID pre Mutiny , I thought 1st and 3rd is the best we could get . Joe Douglas is a great GM and he even got in McDlugald for 1 yr to be good depth amd help ease the transition of Ashtyn Davis into more playing time
We cant replace Jamal Adams, but we now have the pieces to be a better and more complete team.without him .
Plain and simple
SEA sucks at 1st rd drafting and have a 3 year window of Wilson's prime
Its a win win for both

Good fuckin riddance. The compensation is also out of this world. JE's comments about this being Douglas' first real test as a GM, I'd say he has passed with flying colors given the hand and dance partner he has had to deal with.

Normally NOT for these kind of trades but freak Adams. The interview calling out the team management, whatever you think of them, can't be tolerated. Pisses me off a little that he got his way but we got back more than we got for Revis who was twice the player and a corner.

Pretty much exactly, yes. I fail to see the point of watching another season of Gaseball when the outcome is inevitable and known to us all. I also fail to see the value of getting rid of our best player. All of things that this team does seem to be specifically designed to ensure that we fail to make progress.
We're now talking about the prospect of replacing Darnold at the end of this season if they excrement the bed, and yet people are still saying that we shouldn't be firing Gase and that he somehow deserves another season. This fanbase is freaking insane.

You're right. I misread it. We were never going to fire Gase after one season. That was a pipe dream. There's also no world in which we're going to replace Darnold after this season. We finally have the resources to surround him with talent.

I get that you're upset but there's no way you can turn down this offer.

Sheer lunacy

2 things I'd love to know, but never will:
A) Did Doug actually have another discussion with Adams (as he said he would) and tell him honestly that a deal couldn't happen this year, leading to Adams throwing a excrement fit. Or did he just avoid the situation altogether, which I would blame Doug for regardless of his intentions.
B) Did Doug (privately) think the entire time that it is bad business to pay a safety, no matter how good as he is, top of the market on a rebuilding team with holes everywhere. Think putting new rims on a rusted out 1982 Datsun.
If B is true, it's a masterful job by big Doug, however if A is true, he should have at least said they couldn't do a deal and told him to his face, assuming Adams is telling the truth about hearing nothing.
Either way, I'm fine. We got a haul, got rid of a player who didn't want to be here. And it was a replaceable position.
I'll end with this. Winning fixes everything.
-

It's going to be extremely interesting when next year comes around and Seattle has to give him a new contract.
After giving up what they did, they basically have to extend him.
I'm most interested in one or those extreme salary cap reduction scenarios. It'll make extending him a nightmare and our draft picks more valuable
-
A lot of people overlooked the "we need more dogs" tantrum, but that was our first real look into Jamal Adams' me first mindset.
He was always pointing fingers at his teammates, but never at himself.
He was a part of those teams that failed to make the playoffs, but it was never his fault.
The dude is soft.
-
Let's not forget this very plausible theory from December
https://jetswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/07/boomer-esiason-jerry-jones-tampering-jamal-adams-jets/
“I don’t trust Jerry Jones,” Esiason said. “He recruits players that are under contract with other teams by leaking potential trades to the media. That’s just plain wrong. He did it with Earl Thomas when he was with the Seattle Seahawks and I believe he did it with Jamal Adams and the Jets. It put the Seahawks and the Jets in a bad spot. Then the players react because they’re emotional and they don’t get it. Suddenly social media is all over them.”
Esiason accused Jones of leaking reports that the Jets were shopping Adams to the media. The Jets have said that they were merely listening to offers, which reportedly included ones from the Cowboys. With that information in circulation, Adams became upset and took to social media to show his displeasure. The Jets were forced to do damage control and have now since amended a strained relationship.
-
This team needs an edge rusher, a #1 corner, and a #1 receiver much more than it needs an elite safety making $17 million a year. Now we might actually have the resources to fill those needs.
-
the only trade that really hurt the Jets/and pissed me off....over the last decade, was the Cotchery trade.
-Revis wasn't going to sign here
-the haul we got for Adams outweighs his position and what he brings to the table here.
-
We never actually negotiated with him so there's no real telling what the final number would have been, or how it would have paid out re: guarantees, bonuses, incentives, and actual yearly split.
The fact that this resulted out of a refusal to come to the table rather than a failed attempt to negotiate - after they told him in the beginning of the year that they would rework his contract, mind you - is what really led me to lose faith in the ownership and in somewhat in Joe Douglas.
We'll see what he gets from Seattle in a year or two.

-Revis wasn't going to sign here

The picks don't mean anything unless they turn into good players and I'm done giving new GMs the benefit of the doubt right off the bat. If we actually get to see the rookies this season and they perform I'll be a lot more optimistic about the draft picks we got from Seattle.

I agreed with Jamal’s comments. A lot of times it looked like he was the only player on the field that gave a excrement.
He still shoulda kept his mouth shut.

I think we'd be stupid not to agree that our defense and overall team as a whole lacked talent after 2018, and still does...
What he didn't understand is that you can't turn around a bad team overnight and he alienated a bunch of his teammmates with that comment. He grew up in a home where he didn't have to struggle at all whatsoever, he played at a powerhouse private high school, and then SEC power LSU. He couldn't handle losing because he never experienced it, in life or on the football field.
Yelling and playing hard isn't leadership. He's an awesome player and one of the best we've ever had on defense, but he was a part of those losing teams. He was a part of those defenses that got Todd Bowles fired. Sounds to me like Darron Lee and Jamal Adams are just immature and didn't bring much to the locker room in terms of leadership. Not that we expected that from Lee, but it was certainly expected from Adams.
Le'Veon Bell calling him a liar is pretty damning.

I was willing to swallow giving Jamal a huge contract for sure. I wasn't thrilled about it but I was more than willing to do it.
However, when you factor in the "not giving a safety $17M" part in addition to a great draft haul, I think this was a deal we could not turn down. And that's before we get to Adams being a malcontent
-
the "not giving a safety $17M" part
I really hate this argument, it's lazy and reductive. It might say SS next to his name on the team webpage and on the Madden roster, but we all know that he's a lot more than that.

That's also a problem.
We were so weak at EDGE that we had to take him out of coverage situations and blitz him more. He was completely invisible for stretches at a time.
He only had 7 pass defended in 2019. That's 98th in the league. He also doesn't intercept the football. His only INT in 2019 was a garbage time INT thrown by Jarrett Stidham.

I'm sure Polamalu and Reed got burnt more than a few times, and certainly had better support from the rest of their defense.
But I never saw those guys get burnt nearly as much as I have Jamal.
Jamal looked more like an elite version of Eric Smith than a poor mans version of Polamalu or Reed.
Regardless I would rather have a mediocre OL and wideout for Darnold than an Elite Erik Smith.

This is a little too much.
Jamal Adams was a versatile chess piece that was an elite run defender. He didn't make many plays on the actual football. I posted earlier that he only had 7 PDs and 1 garbage time INT. The only "game-changing" play he made was the Daniel Jones strip sack TD.
Comparing him to Ed Reed is just as absurd as comparing him to a better version of Eric Smith. Reed created turnovers and scored defensive TDs. Jamal Adams wasn't that kind of safety. He was an undersized linebacker. I'm very interested to see how he does against George Kittle in 2020.

again, the 'value' we got was 'good', but it points to the complete incompetence of the organization
again, jamal was a 'winner', a 'hard worker', a 'high character' guy coming out of college etc etc etc, so the talk about 'douglas wants to use these picks to build the culture and character of the team' is awfully rich.
moar picks, lets just keep amassing moar picks and draft the culture guys who may have a 25% shot (and this is being generous) of becoming as good as jamal was at his position. let's bring that player to this team so that either our googly-eyed autist of a coach (or whomever is to assume that role in the future) or our completely inept ownership group (over something as elementary and menial as miscommunication, or a lack thereof) alienate that player to the point of no return. then we can trade them for moar picks
JE brought this up. there is something absolutely insane about the mindset of this fanbase. 'let's trade our best player.....to stock up on ammo for a trade up for a QB just in case sam fails'. you don't trade your best player to leverage the backup plan to the young franchise QB already present on the team. why stop there with the needless hypotheticals. why not take it a step further. what was the point of drafting jamal adams if this was to be the result? we should have just drafted pat mahomes. right?
ok, we got good value, but the jets can't even find the money to keep their best players even while their franchise qb is on his rookie contract

It's not about "finding the money"
We could easily find the money to pay Jamal 17 million a year. But could he ever produce that value?
What if the proposal to drastically cut the salary cup goes through with the bulk of the hit the next 2 years and suddenly jamals got a huge new chunk of guaranteed money attached to his name? Who do we cut? What positions do we skimp on signing? With Bell gone we almost certainly have a need at HB, and we have huge question marks at literally every single position on the offensive line.
Not to mention our stable or wideouts is dog excrement as well. With the exception of Crowder we're really lacking everywhere.
This team has the money for Adams, but the cost of flexability when finances could be a HUGE issue with a tremendous amount of uncertainty is far greater. Especially when the biggest needs of resources are all at positions that can be of pivotal importance for Darnold. If you want to debate whether Adams is worth 17 million a year that's at least a point you can argue.
What you can't argue is that appeasing an All-Pro Erik Smith under team control for the next 3 years is worth handcuffing our flexibility, especially for key positions around Darnold during periods of unprecedented uncertainty

cling to the 'he's a safety' argument all you want. soon enough you'll see that the issues and problems we see here will also apply to positions on our team that you deem more valuable. don't get mad when it's time to pony up for sam's favorite weapon and we run into this excrement again

the first sentence of your post is 'it's not about "finding the money"' and then you proceed to type an entire post talking about where the jets would be able to find the money to pay jamal and pay everybody else
This is the greatest period of cap uncertainty in the history of the league, because of a global pandemic where we are still uncertain if there will even be a season.
I'm arguing about flexibility. I didn't argue we could pay all the other guys or couldn't, because none of us know what the future is going to hold.
It's floated that the cap could decrease by 70 million next year. If that's the case and we had to move all of Jamals money back, he could be looking at a 30 million dollar cap hit years down the road when Sam would be nearing his peak and or new contract.
This is a team sport and Jamals precious little ego is not worth more than the flexibility of JD to maintain a successful team
-

The only way in which to maintain a successful team is to actually build one in the first place, and losing your most talented and important players seems like a not good way to do that. But hey, we've been trying it all these years, maybe this is the time it finally works out, right?

So we make Jamal the highest paid safety of all time, there's a monstrous reduction to the cap over the next 2 seasons.
How do you fill the holes all over the roster without pushing back astronomical cap charges for Jamal to the future?
Are we building this team around Jamal Adams or Sam Darnold?
But hey we've drafted young promising QB's before and let the talent on the offense deteriorate around them. Maybe this is the time it works out right?

Why are you assuming we’re giving Jamal the worst deal possible for the team?

If as reported there's a possibility of there being a 70 million dollar reduction in the salary cap over the next year or two, then any deal that involves making Jamal the highest paid safety of all time 3 years before he becomes a free agent is a bad deal for the team.
When there's historical uncertainty why the freak would you absolutely cripple any degree of financial flexibility making a guy the highest paid player of all time at his position?
We literally might not be able to go out and make sure we have an offensive line next season because of cap restraints, yet Jamal wants to be freaking Scrooge McDuck

Not really since we never negotiated with him. It tells me what would have happened once the situation became untenable to both sides. An earlier negotiation might have yielded different terms.
I also think it’s unrealistic to assume that Douglas would have shown up offering anything but settled for “my derriere is hanging out and I’m completely restrained, do whatever you want!” as a tactic.
We’ve seen multiple players deemed “the highest paid [position] over the years and watched them never collect the full value of the contract. We’ve also known multiple players agree to a yearly split they know they will never actually achieve, but pick because it makes them they highest paid [position] for that season.
It was a bad look that he trash talked both his coach and his GM to the media, I’m not denying that. But to assume he would have only agreed to a prohibitive contract despite us never actually offering him a contract to begin with is just asinine.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, at least one team that's looked into Adams, presumably as a potential trade acquisition, believes the All-Pro eventually wants to be paid more than $20 million per season -- or the equivalent of the top defensive players in the NFL.
If a team just interested in trading for him found that out, what do you think Joe Douglas could have found out?

Part of me wants to trade a pick for a veteran just to shut people up. Maybe we trade that 3rd-round pick for A.J. Green as an example, though that would be risky.

Nice speculation. Still haven't seen someone negotiate with him.

I think Doug didn't think having the highest paid safety in the league was a good idea for a rebuilding team. He didn't value putting that much money towards that position. You can certainly argue that he could have gone about the process better, assuming what you hear from Jamal's camp is true.
I'll miss Jamal on the field, but he can freak off with all the twitter/instagram excrement and posting "luv" every 5 minutes.

Who gives a freak about his position? The resources should be allocated based upon the player's importance to the team, I don't care if they're listed as a safety or a full back or a water boy. Jamal Adams was the best and most important player on the defensive side of the ball (Mosley might become that but until he demonstrates an ability to stay on the field he's ineligible for consideration).

Exactly. Jamal's agreed to play this year under the terms of his current contract so the negotiating an extension fun begins in 2021.
Question: what if there's no season, do the current contracts carry over to the next year, i.e. would Seattle theoretically have control over Adams through 2022 (plus a tag year)?

I get your point but that doesn't hold true in a salary cap league. Hood players at premium positions cost more than hood players at other positions. If you pay too much at safety you dont have that money for qb, lt, cb

That’s some serious freak you bullshit from Adams if it’s true.
The more that comes out the more it seems he is a gigantic douchenozzle who only cares about himself. I hope he throws a bitch fit in Seattle next offseason when he doesn’t get $20 million a year and demands a trade to Dallas.
-

I'm just saying that a consistent edge rusher is much more valuable than a safety that's only true impact against the passing game is pass rushing.
Williams had to take a defender out of the defensive backfield and use him as a pass rush threat to generate pressure because our edge depth chart is devoid of talent. That is not an ideal situation.
Adams did not make enough plays in the passing game. That's why I don't consider him worth the money he supposedly wants.

Plus the added bonus that Gase should be long gone if we are picking at 5
-
If Maye/McDougald/Davis all stay healthy, I don't think there's that much of a drop off at safety for us.
Obviously the loss of Adams limits what Gregg Williams was doing with safeties in the box last season, but Ashtyn Davis is a very versatile player too. He isn't as good against the run at Jamal, no one in the NFL is. But Davis lined up at linebacker at Cal and is a sure-tackler.
McDougald is no slouch either.

I think that his value is not as any one thing, but in his flexibility to allow him to play multiple roles in the same scheme. I don't like the comparisons with Polamalu or Reed or anyone else (lol Eric Smith) because they don't really provide any contextual value. I think the problem you're describing isn't a failure of Jamal Adams, it's one of our roster and the fact that Williams had to use him in the box more than is optimal simply because of our complete lack of pass rush, but it's the versatility that he brings that enabled Williams to do it so successfully and with a better roster, that versatility just becomes even more valuable. He's the best spur we've seen in years and I think Carroll is going to be able to do a lot of things with him.

He's gone. He was good. This team needs ammo to fill big holes, not a really good safety. He was annoying. We got a huge haul.
Options for the future:
-Jamal Adams paid at $15-$17 million per year. Same draft picks we were supposed to have in 2021.
- An average safety on a $5 million salary, along with two additional first round picks and another 3rd rounder this year.
Joe Douglas is here to build a team from the ground up to be in the playoff mix every year for a long time. I personally believe it hamstrings your growth to pay Adams that much. There is a way to do it that Douglas has been a part of for years. He's watched the best do it. It doesn't involve caving to unreasonable, forceful demands or overspending in places where it doesn't make sense.
-
He's the best spur we've seen in years and I think Carroll is going to be able to do a lot of things with him.
In the box, sure. But I'll be surprised if that defense doesn't get roasted deep a lot in 2020. Carroll might be forced to drop Adams into coverage more than he would like. He could thrive there given more opportunities in coverage, but we didn't see much from him as a true safety.
Look at what Mark Barron did in that role under Gregg Williams. A player that was considered a bust by many thrived in that hybrid linebacker role under Gregg Williams and Dennard Wilson. I'm interested to see who plays that role in 2020. I'm thinking it's going to be Ashtyn Davis. You don't need an elite player there. You need a capable one.
My very first year coaching, I coached defensive backs. Our defensive coordinator at that time was a former safeties coach at University of South Carolina and he loved the SPUR position.
Our head coach (an offensive minded, OL coach) was terrified of the SPUR because you could move that player around and screw with alignments and blocking assignments. What he failed to realize, is that creative playcallers (which he definitely wasn't) could erase that player, specifically on passing downs. That's what I saw a lot with Adams, invisible or away from the play on passing downs. Our HC wanted to put our best athlete at SPUR because he thought it was so important and when we took him out of the middle of the field, our defense suffered as a whole. We moved that kid back to FS and put an athletic linebacker at SPUR. Both got scholarships.
The athletic linebacker plays ILB at Wofford because he was awesome against the run and was a terror as a pass rusher, but he didn't make plays in coverage.

OK, but surely the point - in fact your original point - is that this is primarily an issue when you use that player too consistently in the box/LB role, and that his ability to play deep or high is what makes him so effective. If you're parking him in the box 80% of the time as a run stuffer and pass rusher then he's not a spur any more, he's an undersized linebacker who occasionally plays in deep coverage. If you lose the unpredictability of the role then you lose the value of it.
Where I do also see a difference in respective values to the Jets and Seattle is that he is ideally suited to dealing with the move TE. We spent the last ten years trying to find a player who can handle Gronkowski, then as soon as we finally get one the fucker goes and retires. This season Seattle have to deal with Kittle twice, Zach Ertz and quite possibly Travis Kelce in the big one - Adams has a huge strategic value to them there, I think.

Arizona is good. Not as good as to actually take 2nd place from Seattle IMO but good enough to win 7-8 games. And, for me, SF has the best roster in the NFL, outside of the QB. With a little luck, 9-7 for the Seahawks is not out of the question.

It's the NFL. The Seahawks could go 6-10 if things break wrong. It's not likely given the QB and the track record, but they only outscored their opponents by 7 points last season, so by scoring differential, they were an 8-9 win team.
-
Food for thought...
Even if Russel wilson didnt get hurt would anyone be surprised if Sea came in 3rd place in the NFc west and go 9-7?
9-7 2020 - 20th pick
9-7 2019 - 19th pick
9-7 2018 - 16th pick
Something like this would probably be our best case scenario, realistically.

everyone knows we got great value in the deal, but i don't think we can reasonably say we fleeced the seahawks yet. we have to see how they do this year and the next couple of years. we have to see what we do with the picks
im a fan of JD's scouting/talent evaluation and i really liked the draft he put together this year, but we obviously cannot say anything about the results of this draft yet, and we can't assume that future picks that he has to use will be slam dunks
this is my biggest qualm with this organization. we are all looking at the draft picks, we draft stars and trade them away because we're not able to foster the environment of a winning organization consistently and make our players happy. it's simple, build a winner and players will be happy. the former players who've been our biggest allies and advocates have been the cogs from our 2009-2010 teams
the extra picks are just hypotheticals until joe uses them and hits on them. at this point i'd rather use the picks to obtain a bona fide player/star, but we probably don't have the luxury of going down that route, because we suck
-
This team is failing to/choosing not to retain 1st rounders because they either suck or the rest of our drafts suck so bad that we need to hock them for help elsewhere.
The Jets need to have a STRING of solid drafts, not just good first rounders. Otherwise Jamal Adamses will just get traded for other parts every year.
-
The Jets stunk with Jamal Adams.
He most definitely wants more money than Eddie Jackson. The Jets were not in a spot to fork over that kind of cash, especially in a situation where the cap will probably be seriously impacted due to COVID-19. The team has the money to pay him, but it's not the best allocation of resources when we have so many other holes and we are a ways away from competing.
We can add two quality starters at other positions with the money saved not extending him. We also got at worst, a replacement level starter at the same position in Bradley McDougald.
This franchise moves as far as Sam Darnold will take it. Jamal Adams wasn't taking this team anywhere. We have to protect the QB and get him some weapons.

i don't have any strong arguments with any of the stuff in these posts, i agree with this stuff.
i hope we build a solid, well-rounded team with an emphasis on protecting and supporting sam. i hope we become a good team. drafting well rounds 1-7 will have a big part in that, and I feel like JD is that sort of GM
i just wonder how contract negotiations will go in the future if/when we actually have a solid team with a bunch of keepers and we're tasked with trying to keep the best of the best and still make them happy, while ensuring the rest of the team remains solid. right now all we had was jamal adams and sam and we still couldn't find a way to keep jamal. maybe jamal was asking for way too much money, but our history in general shows that we have not been good with that. but honestly, there is no point in opening up that can of worms until we're actually good. i just want us to be good

It gets insanely demoralizing to put just how bad the Jets have been at drafting and managing the roster. So many "no-brainer" picks in the first round have been traded or cut. Maye is the last member of the 2017 draft class still on the team.

How many guys are still on our roster from the 2014-2018 drafts? Like 3? Sam, Maye and Herndon?
Our drafting is the reason we are a laughingstock. Hopefully Douglas rights the ship in that department

Womanish Mehta: Jamal Adams said former Jets players and coaches reached out to him after being traded to wish him well.
Jets rookie safety Ashtyn Davis was one of them. Adams said he was willing to help Davis in any way. “I’m here to help you.”
Jamal on Jets: “I’m pulling for those guys”

“Jamal Adams on watching an offense score 38 points: "I'm not used to it.”
-
Makes sense. He's been on a excrement team that shouldn't have drafted a safety that season.
-
I hate being on the receiving end of trash talk, but I don't blame him. I guess he decided he didn't want to lose anymore and would just poopchute his way out of town. Hey, he's on the winning end of it now.
-
We are a excrement organization. Good players have no obligation to stay here.
-
Jamal is going to talk. He'll take digs at us all year. All we can do is hope they lose for the draft picks.
Honestly, I think today helped validate the Adams trade. We desperately need talent at premium positions. Maye was great without Adams, and McDougald was fine, too. We aren't winning anything with or without a safety making a shitload of money.
I never wanted to trade Adams unless we got two 1sts, and I still feel that way, but now that we have them, I'm excited to hopefully makeover the offense.

I agree with your premise.
But, largely this was the same defense as last year. Are there any other big additions/subtractions I’m missing?
So why did we get our excrement pushed in by Josh freaking Allen? Can’t say how embarrassing it is to be the team that allows him to pass for 300 yards

Had they not pulled their starters, we'd have gotten abused week 17 also.

He did throw it 46 times (6.8 yds per att), so when you throw that often, you expect 300 yards.
The defense did get better after they benched Desir, but it was also a blowout at that point.
Last year in Week 1, the Bills had 370 yards. This year, they had 404. Last year, the defense shut them down until Mosley went down. This year, Mosley was already out, and we lost Cashman in the game. We had Harvey Langi playing constantly. And they added Diggs.
This is a bad roster. Defensive line is solid and safeties are solid, but the LBs and CBs are bad.

Sure. In isolation, if we look at it like a game of Madden, it was a good trade. But if we look at it in the context of what it says to the league, it was a freaking disaster. Adams told the entire league that the team doesn't know how to win and they aren't prepared to reward good players, and that if you're any good you're best off not being on the Jets. And then both he and the Jets went out today and proved him 100% correct.
-
The holes this team has were put on display today. This team is a rebuild (as usual). We need linebackers, corners, and WRs. We need draft picks and to hit on them. Darnold was the surprise today. He sucked derriere. I didn't expect that.

You say you’re surprised. Why did you expect Darnold to be better? Because he’s a year more experienced? Is that it?

I don't care "what it says to the league." That's meaningless to me. They got two 1st-round picks for him when nobody thought they would get that. It's not like they sold low on him.
Adams was already saying things about the Jets when he was here. He demanded a trade and then went scorched earth. That was the message to the league. The damage was done well before the trade (if there was any long-term damage).
-
a full year of running and extra study time and then practice and its still a terrible freaking scheme
-
You say you’re surprised. Why did you expect Darnold to be better? Because he’s a year more experienced? Is that it?
Because Darnold played like a below average starting quarterback in 2018 and 2019, and the natural progression of a 3rd-year quarterback entering his 2nd year in a system should be to get better.
If the expectation for a 23-year old player is to not get better, then why are we even bothering to develop him? Of course a 3rd-year quarterback should expect to improve over his 2nd year, especially when his 2nd year wasn't very good.

Well, you should. Because if you want us to actually be able to sign good FAs without having to overpay, or to keep our own drafted players without them agitating to leave or insisting on such a big new contract that we have no choice but to trade them, then we need to not be seen as the toilet of the league.
-

They've done a excrement job putting talent around him, no argument from me there. But young players should be on an upward trajectory regardless. If you're only as good as the talent around you, then you're probably not that good.
I expect Darnold to bounce back, but this was alarming.

That's all irrelevant. Win games and the reputation of the Jets will improve. The Jets have to overpay for free agents because they haven't made the playoffs in a decade. If the Jets win, none of the rest matters.
If the Jets somehow bounce back and go 12-4 this year, it's not like free agents will be like "Oh, Jamal was upset, so I won't sign with the Jets." And if we had Jamal and went 7-9 instead of 5-11 this year, that wouldn't have made a difference either.

Maybe Darnold will never be great. Drafting a QB high, hanging him out to dry, and then giving up on him halfway through is destined to fail, every time.

I agree that the Jets have done a miserable job surrounding him with talent, and that makes things a lot harder for Darnold to develop.
And bringing this back to the Adams trade, that's why we need to use those extra draft picks to finally build up the offense. Build up the offensive line. Get a couple receivers in here. Give Darnold or whoever replaces Darnold a better chance to succeed.

I’m aware we need to use draft picks to build up the offense, let the front office know. I was screaming when we picked back to back safeties and Nathan Shepherd Jachai polite and Blake Cashman and Davis/Zuniga/Morgan.
And we wonder why we are here and our franchise QB is struggling
-
Even if Darnold is destined to suck, drafting a new QB would be retarded. Coming here with a excrement OL, no offensive weapons would doom them to immediately fail
Stack the OL, stack the wideouts, if Darnolds still trash you can bring the new QB to a good landing spot

Damn, football must work differently to literally every single other professional sport in the world, because in those players talk to each other and make their decisions based upon a variety of factors, including what their peers say about clubs that they might choose to join. Good to know that in football players purely look at a team's win/loss record in the previous season.

Okay, but that has nothing to do with the trade. Jamal was angry at the Jets and ripped the franchise constantly in the media. Your solution would have been to keep him and everything would have been fine?
The damage was already done before the trade.

We're on the same page there. But at some point, the quarterback needs to show more signs of development than he has.
Some of the plays he was missing today were alarming and had nothing to do with his supporting cast.

The whole team was excrement today, offense, defense and specials all the way to coaching. Dunno how much a disgruntled SS would've helped. Maye basically had a similar role and game as Adams had last year.

-

I would have been fine keeping him and signing him before all the excrement went down. Granted, that also would send a message to the league - whine about your contract with the Jets, and you'll get a raise. We don't know how much money Jamal wanted.
But there's no guarantee that would made made everything better, especially once he demanded the trade.
Once he goes public with the trade demands, we don't know if he would have resigned. He demanded a trade. Those don't always get immediately resolved with a contract. Some do, some don't. If the place is as bad as you (and he) say it is, why would he resign?
Second of all, even if we did sign him, why would we expect him to all of a sudden fall in line? If we went 6-10 this year, he'd probably still try to force his way out in a trade in March. He tried to get to Dallas last year at the deadline. What would stop him from trying to get to Dallas next offseason?
I wanted to make it work with Jamal. But when you can get two 1st-round picks, a quality replacement, an upgraded mid-round pick, tons of extra cap space, and you alleviate your roster of a headache, I think you had to do it.
-
We are a worse defense without Jamal Adams. I don't know how anyone can try and argue against that.
Who is arguing that?
The argument is that we're a 4-8 win team with Jamal and without Jamal, and the biggest reasons why are our deficiencies at some of the most important positions on the football field (OL, EDGE, WR, CB).
Adams definitely would have helped today, but Maye didn't miss much of a beat in Adams' role.

I posted this on Twitter yesterday, and I'm going to repeat it here.
I think Maye is a more overall talented safety than Adams. My only concern with him is that he's had trouble staying healthy.
That said, the Jets defense would be better with both Adams and Maye in the secondary.
-
I think Maye is a more overall talented safety than Adams. My only concern with him is that he's had trouble staying healthy.
Now that is a hot take. I like Maye a lot, but let's slow down.
-
I'm just glad Maye is healthy and looks good, so there's not a gaping hole where Adams used to be. And we have two years to hope for Seattle's luck to turn bad and land us a higher #1.
-
Adams has more talent. It’s not even close.
Maye is still a good to great player. If he stays healthy he should be able to produce in the role Adams played last season.
-
Maye is probably a better player with the ball in the air, but I'll take Adams over him every day of the week.
-
My phrasing sucks, and now I recall I thought the same yesterday after I posted it on Twitter. What I mean is, I think Maye is more well-rounded.

If he's in coverage and he's getting toasted then he's not worth the money that he's asking for.

The Seahawks pulled within a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. They had flipped momentum on the Bills, and they had a chance to give the ball back to Russell Wilson and the offense.
Ryan Neal’s third-down sack of Buffalo’s Josh Allen at the Seattle 45-yard line appeared to be the play the Seahawks had to have to turn around a dreadful day for their defense. Instead, more bad news: Neal’s sack was negated by an illegal-contact penalty on the Seahawks’ Jamal Adams downfield, giving back momentum to the Bills en route to their 44-34 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday in Orchard Park, New York.
Adams, out for the past month with a groin injury, flashed some of his All-Pro form in his return to action Sunday. But, fair or not, the third-down penalty he committed when he tripped Buffalo slot receiver Cole Beasley proved to be his most notable — and most costly — contribution during the Seahawks’ worst defensive game of the Pete Carroll era.

i liked the value of the deal when it was made but had some bitchass emotions to overcome when the deal was announced, which didn't take that long to be fair
we got an amazing deal. trading adams was absolutely the right thing to do with this/for this team.
-
We could be 0-8 with him here bitching, complaining and wanting to be paid more.
-
Jamal Adams now ranks No. 78 out of 92 safeties in PFF's coverage grade
-
Tomorrow is a year since he pickpocketed Danny whatever and ran for a TD. I was there, it was fun.
That said, a big hit or two per game doesn't usually equal wins, we couldn't get off the field on third down with him and we still can't. Money well not spent.
-
OK, but that's a bit disingenuous, isn't it? No one ever claimed he was the second coming of Ed Reed; he's just the best Spur in the NFL. He has more sacks than Chase Young or DeMarcus Lawrence and he's played half the number of games they have; his sack per game rate ranks him tied 4th in the league with TJ Watt, and better than some genuine star DEs and LBs on monster money. In fact, the only players putting up a better S/G than Adams are Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald and Trey Hendrickson.
"Hur dur look how much they gave up for a safety who can't cover" doesn't work quite as well when you consider that he's still better in coverage than the vast majority of linebackers AND gets more sacks than them.

I think he's a great player, and wanted him to stay for a long time. But in hindsight his constant bitching and need for a big contract made him more of a pain in the derriere than a help. I think we're still 0-8 if we kept him. If you add him to the Rex D with Revis and Cromartie back there, he'd make much more of a difference.

-
Seattle’s defense isn’t any good this year and it certainly hasn’t improved by adding him. I don’t think anyone here has watched enough to gauge his true impact but I feel comfortable in saying that whatever value he has added as a pass rusher has been negated by him being a huge liability in coverage.
It should also be noted that Seattle has a much different scheme, are using him differently than we did, and asking him to cover more.

If there's an argument that he is a scheme-specific and/or -dependent player, and that Seattle haven't figured that scheme out yet, I'm willing to accept it. Again, consider him a Spur rather than a safety and the filter changes; I agree that not every team has, wants or could use a player in that role, but teams that can and do can get a lot of value from it. Just ask the 2019 Jets.
Imagine Belichick getting his hands on a player like that. He'd create havoc.
-
Thinking he isn't a great player because he wanted out is just sour grapes. Thinking that getting 2 1sts + a 3rd for him is robbery is still possible even if you concede he's a great player; it's okay. The Raiders might have made out getting less for Khalil Mack who is an inherently superior player.

The fact that you admit that "not every team wants or could use a player in that role" is basically admission we got a good deal. We got two 1st-round picks for a safety that you just admitted needs to be in the right scheme to work. And he needs a new contract. And he would have been a massive pain in the derriere this year and probably wouldn't have wanted to resign.

The Seahawks defense has allowed 455.8 total yards per game. The most in super bowl era.
With Jamal Adams ON the field the defense is allowing 100 MORE yards a game than without him (GMFB).

Looking an awful lot like the dude was a better player here than he is there. We clearly got the better end of the deal (so far) but hopefully we can hit on the picks.
Also I still expect him to demand $20 million per year, and I have to think Seattle feels obligated to pay him if his production is even close to worth it, given what they gave up for him

What #Jets fans knew but Seattle is realizing since the Jamal Adams trade:
- He's not built different
- He's not winner
- Teammates mostly ignore him
- He can edge rush vs a TE but can't cover one
- Is not worth 18 million a year
- Not worth two first rounders
- Moist boy

If he wants to be on the field and be a game changer, he needs to at least TRY and make that tackle. If he can’t even try because he’s in so much pain? Then he shouldn’t be suiting up.
Thank god he balled out for us last year the way he did so that we could trade him for what we did

I don't disagree, but I also don't underestimate everyone's desperation in Seattle given how what should be a special season has them currently in third because the defense is just absolutely atrocious.

They have 2 major problems, pass coverage and pass rush.
Adams weakest aspect of his game is pass coverage, always has been.
His strongest aspect is as a pass rusher. But the season record for a S to get sacks is what 8.5? We were all hoping he would break it last year, but he didn't. The point is that even if he had the greatest pass rushing season by a S ever, he still wouldn't need double digit sacks, and even if he does, it's not going to be the same type of constant pressure an elite pass rusher (like a Khalil Mack or Aaron Donald) would bring anyways.
So Jamal Adams isn't exactly the panacea to their defensive issues, even if he is healthy.
Honestly, I hope they finish 9-7 and miss the postseason because of how bad the defense is and they have to watch a 6 win NFCE division winner host a play off game.

This was from before yesterday’s game
TLDR:
Seattle DEF EPA w/ Adams on the field: 0.11 EPA/play allowed
Seattle DEF EPA without Adams on the field: 0.11 EPA/play allowed
From thread:
“ When Adams has been on the field, Seattle's defense has been better against the run on early downs and worse against the pass.”
...
“this is somewhat driven by the Bills game, but it's amusing to see Seattle's opponents call pass plays on ~3/4ths of early downs when Adams is on the field.
If someone is really good against the run and that leads the opponent to pass more, is that even a good thing?”

It's pretty impossible. Look at their schedule.
NFC West records are padded this season because they play the NFC East and the AFC East, and the Seahawks still have a 4-game stretch of at Eagles-Giants-Jets-at Washington coming up.
That said, it would be nice if they don't win the division so the pick is in the early 20's as opposed to the late 20's.

I mean the playoff picture could easily see a 10-6 squad not get in. Eagles pass rush could cause that Seattle team real issues. If the Bucs, Saints, Cardinals, Rams and Seahawks all win 10, somebody is on the outside looking in.
Given Seattle still has games against Rams and Cardinals left, one other stubbed toe, and they are 10-6....
That team is also a Russel Wilson injury away from being about as good as we are. If what happened to Brees were to happen to Wilson, I can't see Seattle winning a game without him the way that defense is playing.

There is a 0% chance a 10-6 team misses the playoffs this year. Remember, it's an expanded playoffs this season, so in your scenario, all those teams make the playoffs.
If you want Seattle to miss the playoffs, give them losses to Arizona, Philly, the Rams and 49ers and pray that they miss out at 9-7 to either the 49ers or one of the random NFC North teams.

Until he signs a contract extension, there will be contract drama. He'll want a contract this offseason I assume.
My guess is Seattle will probably make him play out his rookie deal and be ready to franchise him if necessary. I assume there will be some contract drama this offseason, but Jamal will play through it and be mostly fine.
Then in 2022, he either gets the contract he wants, or he acts up on social media under the franchise tag. He'll ask to be tagged at another position and it won't work. He'll sit out training camp, and then he'll probably show up in Week 1 because I do think he wouldn't want to miss the games.
2023, he's traded somewhere else who signs him.

Just for fun, does adding Jamal Adams to the Seattle logo push them to middle of the pack? Does taking away pick 23 drop the Jets closer to the middle of the pack?
Obviously picks 1 and 2 (especially being QBs) adds an unheard of amount of value for us and the Jags, which is why we are way ahead on the chart. But that 2nd first rounder for both really helps a bunch too.
Sure would be fun as freak if the Seahawks sucked balls this year and that became a top 10 pick.

Jamal Adams and LT Duane Brown are not participating in practice at Seahawks camp as they wait for contract extensions.
Both players reported to avoid fines, but neither is going in the early days of Seahawks camp as they hope for the finishing touches to be put on new contracts. It's the same approach Bobby Wagner successfully employed two years ago. The fact that the Seahawks aren't making a stink about it strongly suggests deals are on the way.

RENTON — The Seahawks and star safety Jamal Adams remained locked in a $70 million staring contest Wednesday, each holding firm on their “final” offer put forth late last week, daring the other to blink.
When training camp began two weeks ago, the two sides were roughly $4 million apart in annual compensation for Adams, sources told The Seattle Times.
After back-and forth negotiations over the next week, they were close to a meet-in-the-middle agreement.
On Friday, the Seahawks made what they labeled their final offer: $17.5 million in total annual compensation on a four-year contract, with roughly $38 million guaranteed, a deal that would make Adams the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
The average per year, though, also would be just below the $18 million of middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, a key consideration for the Seahawks in leaving the 10-year veteran and longtime defensive captain as the highest-paid defensive player on the team.
Adams’ representatives seemed amenable to that salary package and then countered with what they saw as a reasonable request: $40 million in guarantees, $2 million more than the Seahawks’ offer.
Adams’ camp also wanted to move bonus money into the first three years of the contract; the Seahawks prefer to spread it over all four years.
The Seahawks, a source said, are “not budging” on their offer.
And Adams, 25, has made it clear he will not play until his new deal is signed, even as he is “champing at the bit” to practice with the team, another source said. Adams has remained active and engaged in team meetings throughout camp.
The two sides have not engaged in negotiations since Friday, and each appears willing to wait out the other until deep into training camp.
Before arriving in Seattle a year ago, Adams was New York tabloid-headline fodder for much of his final two seasons playing for the Jets — drama he believed he had to manufacture to force his way out of a “dysfunctional” organization, a source said.
It worked. The Seahawks traded a massive haul — two first-round picks, a third-round pick and a starting safety — to the Jets for Adams, one of the NFL’s most versatile defenders and a first-team All-Pro in 2019.
Because the Seahawks gave up so much to get Adams, the general thinking coming into training camp this year was the player had the leverage in these negotiations. And Adams, it appears, is trying to use every ounce of that leverage. Even still, most figured a deal would get done, and both sides had hoped to have that deal done by now.
And while general perception might exist that Adams has the leverage, NFL rules give Seattle some ability to play hardball.
Specifically, each side knows the Seahawks could use the franchise tag on Adams in each of the next two years. According to OvertheCap.com, the franchise tag for safeties in 2022 is projected to be $12.4 million.
Seattle could again slap the tag on Adams in 2023 for what is projected to be somewhere in the $15 million range.
That means Seattle essentially holds the rights to Adams for the next three years at what would be a total of about $37-38 million (a total that also is in line with what the Seahawks are offering Adams in guaranteed money).
Adams could then become a free agent in 2024 at the age of 28 after having played four seasons for the Seahawks.
The Seahawks have been reluctant to use the franchise tag, having done so only twice since 2010, and once solely so they could retain the rights to Frank Clark while working out a trade.
But Adams is a unique case, and the team could see it as a viable option.
Adams would undoubtedly chafe at the idea of playing year-to-year, which is why the general assumption is that this would get resolved before the tag would come into play. Still, it’s something the Seahawks can use in negotiations as something they could realistically enact.
And while Adams has been “holding in’’ — he reported for camp July 27 but has not been participating in on-field workouts — NFL rules would essentially force Adams to play this year or not only risk losing his $9.8 million salary for this season but also having his contract toll, meaning the season would not count toward free agency.
Specifically, since Adams has reported to camp, if he were to later leave, the Seahawks can send him what is termed a “five-day letter,’’ which informs him that he can be placed on the reserve/left squad list if he doesn’t return.
Going on the list not only ends a player’s season but also prevents him from playing on another team even if traded, and also means the contract tolls.
By reporting to camp, Adams avoided the possibility of being fined up to $40,000 a day, the amount teams can fine players who are still on rookie contracts. A 2020 change in the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement states teams can no longer waive the fines, as was often the case in the past, essentially forcing players to show up.
Adams, a source said, had wanted to avoid this kind of drama in Seattle.
At every turn in his first season here, Adams gushed about the Seahawks.
Carroll, in turn, was effusive in his praise of his newest playmaker, who led the team with 9 1/2 sacks, an NFL record for a defensive back, even while Adams missed a month because of a shoulder injury.
Adams had shoulder surgery in the offseason and procedures on two broken fingers, but he is 100% healthy now, a source said.

I think he's going to bend over and cave
It makes too much sense for Seattle to go 5th year option, franchise, franchise, and then break out the transition tag if Jamal somehow proved to be worth 20 million a year in 2024
Adams finally found out what Seattle's limit is. And he almost certainly is going to accept it

That’s a lot for a safety. ultimately I’m surprised Jamal signed for that “little” guaranteed even though he has absolutely no leverage.

He's going to wind up demanding a trade by opening day 2022. Bet.

freak that jackass, pretends he’s the world greatest leader but really he’s just a soft sensitive prick. Dude is not an elite NFL player in their scheme and I hope he rots in Seattle. Or better yet I hope he enjoys their 4-13 year and demands a trade to a “winner” in the offseason and Seattle tells him to freak off

I was thrilled with the return at the time, and it's aged like fine wine.

Imagine a 27 million dollar cap number in one year for a box safety.
We have an Adams for under a mill. It's going to be hilarious if he's good.

It’s quite possible our Adams will be a better safety than Jamal Adams will be for Seattle this year. That’s before you account for their relative cap hits

i was upset that we had lost a young 'star' player from a bad (our bad) franchise bereft of talent, but was pleased with the return and understood it from a business perspective.
the returns have been better than i could have imagined.

NFL is considering discipline against Seahawks’ Jamal Adams for his actions toward the independent concussion doctor appointed by the NFL and NFLPA following his concussion sideline evaluation in Monday night’s game. - Schefter
-
that excrement was so stupid. he was visibly concussed. he couldnt even get up to walk back after the hit
adams is already at baseline a very dramatic, emotional person. he used to talk again and again about how he was depressed and would sit in the dark in his room due to our losing nature his first couple of years in the league. as a fanbase we were exposed to his often unnecessary emotional antics over and over. you don't have to be a doctor to imagine what harmful sequelae adding CTE on top of all of that would cause for his health and for his family.
adams may not yet realize it because he's a bum but that unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant was making a decision for the betterment of his life. that's the whole point of having impartial physicians out there.

Getting demolished on Twitter for going after Connor Hughes' wife.
-
Honestly, didn’t know where to put this but Connor Hughes sent out a tweet with the word yikes over a clip of Ferguson’s TD last night and Adams responded with a pic of Hughes and his wife with the word yikes over that. Not only is that incredibly thin-skinned and classless but, for the record, it’s not like she’s bad looking or anything so I really don’t understand what he was even going for. The tweet has been deleted btw.
