Blitz Boi Jamal Adams

[Heismanberg]

Not to get too hopeful

But Russell Wilson just had a new born child this week and has been extremely critical of the NFLs response to covid. If he opts out or something, this could turn into a helluva trade

He's not opting out.  That team is built to make a run.

I hated this, when the situation still seemed salvageable in the fall, a vocal portion of the fan base just started going REEEEE freak YOU to Adams which probably didn't help. In general I don't like to pin things on people who don't have any control over the situation, but deluging a 24 year old's social media with so much hate was just incredibly stupid.

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

[Heismanberg]

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

[reuben]

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.

[bojanglesman]

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.

ASHTYN DAVIS SZN

ASHTYN DAVIS SZN

Suddenly getting excited about the pick

Thoguh I'm extremely curious as to if we're going to try to extend Maye before the season

[Heismanberg]

It sucks to lose an enforcer like Adams, but Maye/McDougald/Davis isn't an awful safety group. 

We're going to miss Jamal's versatility a lot, but having a healthy CJ Mosley should help a lot in the front seven.

GO TF OFF, RICH!

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.

[bojanglesman]

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.

Gase is still our coach

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.
