All you forgetful Jets fans shame on you.  Over 65% of you are just silly.

Ed Reed played for the Jets, the question does not state during prime, or what not.  Also Ronnie Lott played for the Jets.

Boom No. 1, and No. 2 Safties.

Kerry Rhodes right now, “Hold my appletini”.

I loved Erik McMillian but he was great his first 2 years and complete liability after that. Green was a good player but no where near the talent of an Adams. Darrol Ray and Burgess Owens.... Come on man. They were solid players but that's it.  None are Adams, none have his ability, none played on the level he plays.

The historic offer that could keep Jamal Adams at center of Jets future

By Steve Serby

November 18, 2019 | 4:56pm | Updated

 

 

 

The bottom line for Jets general manager Joe Douglas: Show Jamal Adams the money or not show Jamal Adams the money.

The bottom line will be arriving in the offseason, with Adams under contract through the 2020 season and Douglas shopping for a new wall in front of Sam Darnold, a cornerback or two, a pass rusher and a wide receiver.

Douglas, who already has procured a third-rounder and a fifth-rounder that could become a fourth-rounder for Leonard Williams if the Giants sign him, will need all the draft capital he can get.

Adams would fetch a bounty.

Douglas will have to ask himself: Can I afford to build around a safety or not?

Then he should ask Gregg Williams.

Then he should ask Adam Gase.

Then he should ask Adams’ teammates.

He won’t have to ask Christopher Johnson. The owner seems to love Adams.

When you have so many other holes to fill, it does not usually make sense … or cents … to build around a safety.

But this safety you build around.

Show him the money.

It doesn’t matter to me whether Douglas will be shopping his most valuable assets or simply fielding calls about them, it would have to be an offer no one in his right mind could possibly refuse for me to part ways with Jamal Adams:

Leader. Captain. Heart and Soul. Playmaker. Lethal Weapon. Alpha dog. Durable. Jet From Day 1. Twenty-four years old.

For more on the Jets, listen to the latest episode of the “Gang’s All Here” podcast:

Before Raiders owner Mark Davis showed Jon Gruden the money — a 10-year, $100 million deal that is beginning to pay dividends — Gruden agreed with Adams’ predraft self-evaluation.

“I like Jamal Adams with the first pick of the draft,” Gruden said. “I think he’s the best player.”

Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson would beg to differ, of course, but the comparisons now should be with fellow safeties Kevin Byard, Landon Collins, Earl Thomas, Tyrann Mathieu, Harrison Smith and Reshad Jones.

The Titans in the preseason made Byard, who turned 26 in August, the highest-paid safety in NFL history by average annual value (AAV).

Byard joined Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed as the only safeties in the Pro Football Focus era (2006-present) to register at least 15 total combined pass-breakups and interceptions (8) in a single season in 2017. Byard held opposing quarterbacks to a 55.8 passer rating in 2018, when he had 90 tackles, three tackles for a loss and two sacks.

Byard’s contract: 5 years, $70.5 million, $14.1 million AAV ($31 million guaranteed).

Collins (Redskins): 6 years, $84 million, $14.0 million AAV ($44.5 million guaranteed).

Jones (Dolphins): 5 years, $60 million, $12.0 million AAV ($35 million guaranteed).

Thomas (Ravens): 4 years, $55 million, $13.75 million AAV ($32 million guaranteed)

Smith (Vikings): 5 years, $51.25 million, $10.25 million AAV ($28.578 million guaranteed)

Mathieu (Texans): 3 years, $42 million, $14.0 million AAV (26.8 million guaranteed).

Jones is 31. Thomas and Smith are 30 years old. Mathieu is 27. Collins is 25.

Of course Adams is not Aaron Donald (or Tom Brady), even if he believes that he belongs on that stratospheric pedestal. Adams is not the ballhawk that Byard has proven to be. But he is everything else.

His insane sack explosion — three against the Redskins, five in the last two games — will not continue, especially against better opponents. Adams will never be Lawrence Taylor, of course, although he plays with a similar fire and hate-to-lose mentality. But it is clear that Williams has learned how to deploy Adams as a king chess piece that offenses must game plan and account for.

 

 

 

He is built for this market. Nothing about New York scares him. He’ll never flinch. He has cleared the air with Douglas and Gase. He wants to be a Jet For Life. Dave Gettleman might have called him a Gold Jacket Guy by now. He isn’t trouble off the field (although a filter would be helpful on Twitter).

Jamal Adams is Jets 'guardian angel' with growing price tag

Douglas has $46.4 million to spend in 2020, a number that will climb once he sheds some of the dead wood.

The NFL salary cap rose from $177.2 million in 2018 to $188.2 million in 2019 and is projected to grow to $200 million in 2020.

Where there’s a will, there’s always a way in the NFL.

The Post’s offer that makes sense for both sides: five years, $75 million, $33 million guaranteed.

It would make Adams the first $15 million-a-year safety and he would be in line for a second mega-deal at age 29.

In return, Adams would give the Jets a hometown discount (of sorts) on the guaranteed money, which represents his jersey number just as Byard’s represented his.

And remember, while Collins’ deal involves more total money, Adams would get his contract one year before Collins got his. From 2015-18, Collins registered 329 tackles in 59 games as a Giant with eight interceptions, 32 passes defensed and four sacks. In his 42 games as a Jet, Adams has registered 254 tackles with two interceptions, 24 passes defensed and 11.5 sacks. I bet the Redskins would have paid Adams quite handsomely on the free-agent market.

The bottom line: Barring Jerry Jones, for instance, mimicking Marlon Brando and making the Jets a trade offer they can’t refuse, show him the money.

Just curious.  What safety in Jets history is better in your opinon.... Victor Green, Erik McMillan, Kerry Rhodes, Bill Baird???

We have never had a safety like Adams.  It's only year 3,  I am not calling him the Best ever,   Just pointing out if you are gonna say someone isn't good at something at least have some facts to back it up. Because he is very good in coverage. 

 

And for the record I hate the temper tantrum he threw.   I hope that doesn't become an issue with him becasue if his attitude is always gonna be like that I am all for trading him.   I hope it was a learning and growing experience and it never happens again.  I am just gonna state the facts on the player he is and the fact is he is one of the best, if not the best, safety in the NFL right now

Green and McMillan were both materially better in coverage IMO.  No numbers, just eyes.

Neither were close to Adams on the line/pass rush.  

Honestly, I don't care enough to argue the point much anymore, the topic of Adams has been beaten to death here.  He's a very good safety.  We didn't need (when he was picked) don't need (today) a very good safety.  We desperately need to sell that very good safety for more vital assets for success.  Just business IMO.

Best defensive player on the NY Jets and top 5 in the NFL. 

[varjet]

I would actually buy this argument if we were not already overpaying an ILB. 

if we could draft a cb and edge, this plan could work.  Mosley will eventually run off.  

But next season we need OL and WR, and if we use cap space to pay Adams, that will slow the offenses development in 2020. 

So I think Adams should play for his contract in 2020 with the understanding that he will get a big contract in 2021.
