The Big "Jamal Officially asks to be traded" Thread

[Drums]

I love hearing the behind the scenes of things that happen in the NFL, like Hard Knocks for example, but this is not one of them. I guess this type of fuss is what happens when people don't have leverage.

What, precisely, about this situation would lead you to believe Jamal will play good soldier and play out the rest of his contract + franchise year with the Jets?

It's way more likely it turns into a Jamal Ramsey situation where he bitches, insults the management in public, misses time due to 'injury' and 'illness'.

Money?

Pass rusher or WR please

So...basically "Mr. Team Leader" would be perfectly fine playing on his current contract with about a 3rd of the league.

Has anybody ever been gruntled?

I won’t argue too push who’s better. It’s reasonable to think Yannick is more impactful all else equal. 

But a deal of Adams and Yannick straight up doesn’t make sense for the Jets giving they’re situations. And Yannick is looking for $20 million a year. I wouldn’t pay that much if he were a free agent. These edge guys are too expensive. It’s gone beyond the value they bring to the field. 

I wouldn't trade Adams for any player that is not controllable for 2+ years no matter the position.

I'd cut him loose for a 1st and a 3rd. 

I would also take a 1st and a WR (like Michael gallup from dallas). This is more or less what i think he's worth. At some point, you have to weigh the cost of keeping him relative to what you're getting, and a disgruntled player isn't really worth anything from a GM's perspective. So the compensation could realistically be a lot lesser than this (see the Hopkins trade a few months ago).

 

This is probably what other franchises are hoping for, a garage-sale deal on a disgruntled player forcing himself out.

 

What is our walk-away point with Jamal Adams?

Boy, we really needed another what is Adams worth in trade thread

No, we've gone down this road. No more holding onto players who don't want to be here or don't live up to potential hoping things will change. Trade them and use the resources to get better. It's like a failed marriage in that you don't hang around thinking that suddenly the parties involved will just make it work due to magic and stuff.   

No one expects Jamal and the Jets to "make it work".  But taking 50 cents on the dollar isn't a smart decision either.  We need to maximize what we get for him in a trade. 

If teams don't meet us at, say, a 75 cents on the dollar level....then Jamal will have to play or give up 40K per day/week or whatever it is.  Period.  Dumping him for a lot less just makes no sense.  He's under contract for 2 more years and can't do anything to force the trade to happen.

That depends on whether said pig is “ripe.”

If the first isn't on the board, how about a 2nd? Is this getting ripped off? Say we're dealing with miami:

2nd + 3rd + Devante Parker 

Those are likely to be high 2nd and 3rds.

woudnt parker just go back to underperforming/not rosterable under gase?

True but I don't think that would be very good for his future earning prospects if he pulled that sort of thing.

Yes.  Davis plays a position that matters.

I'm not interested in a fire sale either and I've pointed out previously that other teams are going to have to bid against each other for him. However, if he doesn't want to be here the longer the Jets wait the less they will get in return. I hear what you are saying though as he has no leverage other than not playing and I'm sure he has bills to pay like everyone else.

lol.  Coming from the guy who's been in the "2 firsts OR a 1st and a 2nd or he shouldn't get traded" crowd, this means a lot.

Because what else is he going to do? play bad and ruin his chances of getting a big contract or sitting out and getting fined?

Honestly he has zero leverage.  The Jets have three more years Of control over him so all the bitching and moaning Jamal dies serves no purpose for him 

[derp]

Johnson, Revis...Adams?

[Dunnie]

Yes.  Davis plays a position that matters.

Comments like this just make me laugh .. thanks I needed that today.

Trade him to the Bucs I guarantee they win the SB.
Can you imagine the sh*t sandwich watching Brady, Bowles and Adams on the podium getting the Lombardi?

Would actually sort of love this ... Would make for great reading of posts by the Jamal Haters ... Would really sorry of love this.

Get a list of teams the beotch doesn't want to go to and trade him to one of those...
Better to trade him to one of the worst teams in the league. The draft picks will be worth much more. Why trade him to a contender so we get the 30th pick or something? We control his ass for the next 3 years; make sure we get a top 10 pick for him.

This is one of the more intelligent ideas I've seen around here in a while.

What are you talking about?  I still feel that way...  I bet JD does as well.  If instagramz and twats get you up in arms that's your deal. 

JD isn't going to crumble because Jamal gave him the equivalent of an angry emoji.

If they had traded him during the season last year for a 1+ to the Cowboys, they'd have Lamb + another player and I guarantee the Jets would've been better off.

 

The Jets played it all wrong. He should've been long gone before this. Any idiot could have seen this coming.

^^^^^ This guy gets it.
