ljr Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 9 hours ago, NYJ1 said: If there's any truth to these trade negotiations one thing is abundantly clear.... This trade will ultimately decide Douglas' fate in NY. If the Jets trade their best player, and Joe Douglas goes out and squanders the picks? He's as good as gone. Even if he gets two 1st rounders for Adams, odds are he'll never get in return what Jamal is worth to the team. He has a VERY slim margin for success. disagree Sam & the O will have a say in grading JD, but even that may impacted by health/gase/etc and not strongly reflect back on JD. The amount of draft capital we get back for Jamal will have no, or a very tiny amount, of impact on JD. The man just had his first draft in a 6 year contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win4ever Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think Jamal Adams is a great player, but his viewpoint is the same thing we derided OBJ for, a me first attitude. If he can’t accept that a GM takes calls on him, he’s not going to ever be happy. Minkah Fitzpatrick, someone who I think has a bigger impact on the passing game, got traded for a 1st and 4th (I think the Steelers got a couple picks back too), and it’s a fairly even trade in terms of value (it would have been better if Miami made a better pick with it).I don’t want to see Jamal leave because he’s obviously a very good player but I’m taking the picks plus cap space in the future over him. To me it boils down to his impact on the game from the SS position. If he’s getting paid 90% of a No. WR, I’d take the receiver plus premium picks. My dark horse team is the Broncos in this. Although reality is this will most likely amount to nothing and he’ll play for the Jets.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammybighead Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Can we please change the title of this thread to “Report: 0 trade discussions for Jamal Adams” Fielding a call isn’t a trade discussion. He isn’t going anywhere. He isn’t sitting out a season. Jets will smartly pay him after after this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My world doesn’t change one bit based on the Jamal Adams saga. I think the Jets are stupid for letting this guy linger on a vastly underpaid contract, but the Jets will go forward, and Jamal Adams will continue to kick ass wherever else he goes. No skin off my back. Lol, he's your guy because of the handle and the fact that you're pretty much alone looking for him to get more money when he's already under contract. It's a weird position to take. There's no advantage for the Jets to pay him early, so I can only assume your a Prez fan first and a Jets fan second. Which is fine, you be you! I'd be very wary about paying Adams. He's squawking now when he's under contract for two more years. What happens after he gets an extension that doesn't kick in for another three years? When four years from now, he's not even a top five paid safety anymore? I have a guess... I think he'll pull this pay me or trade me bull**** again. For a guy whose big selling point was being a leader of men, where is he leading them? To put themselves above the team like he's choosing to do? What he bought to the locker room was supposed to be a big part of his value, now suddenly it's becoming a liability. I was pro-trading him from the start, but I would've understood if the Jets decided to extend him (next year!). Now I just want Jamal to get his wish to play elsewhere and for Joe Douglas to get a nice package for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the maiden doth protest too much. Again, can't speak for anyone else, but I choose a nick of my own unrelated to the Jets, in part specifically to not be tied to a current player. even my all time favs, Toon, Chrebet, Mangold now too, I wouldn't name myself after them, and I love those dudes, I'm me, not them.

No skin off my back. lol what? That's how rookie deals work. How are the Jets "stupid" when only ONE team has extended a 2017 first rounder so far (Panthers - McCaffrey)? If Adams has a complaint about it, take it up with the NFLPA who agreed to this rookie wage scale in each of the last 2 CBA's. Teams have the upper hand on these deals, and they're not "stupid" for taking advantage of that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his prime Earl Thomas was the closest to that category among recent/active players.

Jethead Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I like Jamal a lot. I think most of you underestimate his value with the premium position bs. Guys like him are exactly who we should be looking for. But, we hold all the cards and if it were me I would tell Jamal he is a key guy in our long term plans who we really value and not give him another dime this year. (Pretty much how I think JD is playing it!) Next year, different story. Let's wait and see what happens. Who knows what the future holds. It's nice to have a competent GM.
