Jetsfan80 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The ravens aren’t one player away. They are already there. They win and lose on the merits. They got bulldozed by a strong running game in the playoffs. It stands to reason they’ll want to shore that up. Adams would help them in that effort.In the meantime, negotiations with Matt Judon have come to a standstill. The Jets and Ravens can help each other right now. The best trades are ones that help both franchises. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ravens construct a roster to play the 2019 titans team, they are constructing a roster that lives in the past and they have already lost. In other words, you are suggesting that they trade for Jamal Adams to play one game — which occurred in the past and is not even certain - or likely - to be played again.

Prez33 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 If the bottom falls out with JA and the Jets, here’s a trade I’d actually be interested in: Gallup and a 1st round pick from Dallas to the Jets for JA. That would have my attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that, not only is it in the past but switching Judon for Jamal Adams doesn’t really help that game plan anyway. Tweaking the front seven does.

Just because it’s not a recommended action doesn’t mean it won’t happen. The Ravens were rumored to be interested in Adams (at some level) at the trade deadline. It should be no surprise that they are once again one of the rumored teams that remain interested. I’m merely presenting the logic as to why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s absolutely silly to replace an edge setting pass rushing OLB that needs a contract with an edge setting SS that needs a contract when you are giving up 4.4 ypc but I see the appeal of Adams. i simply think the Jets competitive window actually begins this year and while I think it’s unnecessary to sign Adams now, he’s a key piece to it all.

Vader Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I will say this about Adams and the interceptions — he has had a lot of balls bounce off his hands. I expect that he’s going to at least double his INT stats this year. When you look at what he did at LSU — he bounced from a bad INT stat year to 4 the next year. if Adams continues to dominate but also ADDS to it by nabbing 2-3 or 4 interceptions... signing him now will have been prescient. His price will only go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule is much tougher this year. Don’t expect as many sacks or strips out of Jamal in ‘20. This is the NFL. Every player’s stats reflect beating dawgs and cellar dwellers. Joe Montana threw TD’s against studs and borderline NFL players. Doesn’t take away from his bottom line. He was the Man. Jamal Adams doesn’t have to apologize for who he dominates. They all strap on the chinstrap on Sunday afternoon. And I disagree about Daniel Jones. He’s going to be the starter for the NYG for at least another 5 years, IMO.

If he was willing to offer a discount now in consideration for the Jets tearing up the last 2-3 yrs of his current contract, I think it would have already happened. But IMO he wants it both ways and Douglas won’t accommodate that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use mid-late round picks or cheap FA dollars on the SS position. The drop off between Jamal Adams and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is not so severe that you need to spend $15–18M per on the position as opposed to the 4M Clinton-Dix is getting from Dallas. This is simple stuff you seem hell bent on trying to make more complex than it is. But of course you or someone else will respond by saying “Jamal is more than a SS!!!” And around and around we’ll go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I'm reading a book about the '68 Jets (BEYOND BROADWAY JOE) that goes over each individual player on the team in detail incl. Weeb Ewbank's evaulations. They went over all the DBs incl Johnny Sample. And his history in the NFL as a very talented impact player but personally abrasive who rankled people incl. Weeb. And he fought with NFL owners about salary demanding top DB salary at a time when esp black players were way underpaid. So he got cut and traded a lot. I don't think that Adams is as abrasive as Sample was but he's like Johnny was a bit of a hot dog and an impact player. Some teams will pay him maybe Dallas who might not want to pay Dak.

Jetsfan80 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Right because nerfing the secondary is genius in a pass-happy league It is if the DB in question isn’t particularly good at covering WRs or forcing turnovers. There are many other ways to improve the pass D than paying Jamal Adams $15-18M per. And of course my argument would be paying him that much limits your ability to improve the Pass D and goes a long way to hurting it in the long run. Given all the additions to the secondary this offseason, JD’s efforts in this area and willingness to stand pat on Jamal’s contract tells me he might just agree with that assessment. But we’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
