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
