Embrace the Suck Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It's not what you say it's how you say it. Be strong and make your demands to ownership in private, go for it, that's your right. The moment you start airing your grievances in public and make a scene, which he is seemingly doing more and more, you become a distraction. This can be said of any employee at any business particularly people who are supposed to be leaders. Being a leader doesn't mean you're a martyr doomed to poverty, but it does mean you're supposed to conduct yourself in a particular manner. There is no 'i' in team, and the Jets don't win enough for any Jet to accentuate the 'i' in win. The Jets appeased Revis a couple times and it never worked out because Revis isn't a QB and teams could simply throw to the receiver he wasn't covering because there was no depth due to top heavy contracts and the cap. The same cap which even still in 2020 some refuse to acknowledge as if since they don't like it teams aren't forced to comply with it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he's telling truth and they had a conversation about it. Sure, he's allowed to want a new deal. Conversations can be misconstrued. JD could've told Jamal that he wants him to be a Jet forever, and Jamal could've taken that to mean a new contract was imminent, when in fact JD had no intention of doing anything right now because Jamal is under contract to be a Jet for the next two years and there's no rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of leaders in this league have been frustrated with their contract. And the Jets have the right to refuse, since there are 2 years left on his deal and they don't have to. So here we are. Jamal said what we knew he's been waiting to say for months. "Maybe its time to move on." If I'm JD I tell Jamal and his agent that they're free to pursue a trade elsewhere and see what comes of it. Jamal then gets an idea of his market value. The Jets get an idea of what teams out there are interested and what they'd give up to get him. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be concerned that by letting him try to find a trade partner on his own, the Jets would be inviting low-ball offers. Adams, no doubt, would also tell his agent to only deal with, "winners," shrinking the size of the potential trade pool. It's quiet and boring, but I think JD is playing it right by doing nothing publicly and answering the phone privately. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekskill68 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good players that land on sh!t teams always feel they have more leverage than they do. That's what happens when you have back-to-back GM's who never had any drafting/team building skill. If JD is finally "the man", and can show competence at replacing talent, these "pay me" sideshows eventually disappear... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with that is bad teams don't trade significant draft capital for a Safety. They can't afford to give up high picks AND a big contract on a luxury position. Adams is a luxury. If he ends up with a bad team it'll only be whenever he's a free agent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After it's done he can demand free market value. But if he wants the early security then he would have to bargain on the Jets terms. He has no leverage. Before someone brings up Mahomes, I imagine there reason KC is getting that done early is to spread the hit and get ahead of the curve since the QB market is inflating quickly.
