Blitz Boi Jamal Adams

At least it sounds like he won't hold out.

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.

Good point.

[Heismanberg]

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.

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.

Good point.

It's a great point.

Siding with a player that sought out Manish Mehta to smear the head coach, general manager, and franchise that he wants an ungodly amount of money from is something I wish I was surprised by.

It's a great point.

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.

I'd still rather see Adams paid and Gase fired fwiw

I'd rather trade Adams and move on from Gase at this point

I want no part of Jamal Adams on this team anymore.

We won't be moving on from Gase until this team is completely devoid of talent and Darnold is ruined.  Become wrath.

Same here. Get the right value for him and good riddance.

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.
