The Big "Jamal Officially asks to be traded" Thread

I was looking at the contracts for tight ends, and my goodness is Kittle underpaid.

 

Might be the most underpaid football player in the league.

https://overthecap.com/position/tight-end/

 

He's currently making a tick over half a million dollars. Not even the highest paid TE on the 49ers!!

Agreed. However, last year was his big BIG year, he was on the rise the year before, so that explains why it hasnt happened yet. 

He will definitely get paid soon for two reasons. 

- Best at the position. 

- Ultimate Team guy. Fiercely loyal and is JUST boisterous enough without going overboard, while backing up his play. 

 

... two things Jamal is not.

Plus TEs simply don't make that much money, at least not relative to their actual worth to a team.  The top 2 guys (Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper) only make a little over $10M per season.  Kelce makes less than $9.5M per.

Leaguewide collusion has essentially kept TE costs low while WR costs have skyrocketed.  In 2014, Jimmy Graham tried to appeal to arbitrators that he should be considered a WR when slapped with the franchise tag by the Saints, but ultimately lost the battle and had to settle for the TE tag.  And that was the case even though he lined up as a WR on 67 % of his snaps the prior season, and franchise tag designation is, per the CBA, based on the position at which a player spent the majority of his time.

Essentially it became an unwritten agreement among the 32 franchises that TEs are not nearly as valuable as WRs, even while the top TEs essentially operate as WRs in their respective offenses.

Tyrell Williams and Tyler Boyd, the # 19 and 20 highest-paid WRs in the NFL, both make more than the highest paid TEs.  Williams, Boyd, Sterling Shepard, Tyler Lockett, Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder all make more than Travis Kelce on a per-year basis.  That's insane.

Unless Kittle is able to successfully negotiate his way to significantly more money, the market will dictate he'll make something like $11M per season, at most, when he signs his 2nd contract.

I dont see any reason why  Jamal cant think about life after Football and spend his free time learning how to be a Saloon Professional. 

I mean jeez, this man cant do anything right!

Chris Moore is a radio personality.

Caring depends on which narrative you're on.

I blame the Johnsons for this idiocy.  Dude plays in the largest market in the country.  Set him up with PrezMal supplements/sports medicine, sign him to a distribution contract with the Jets and tell him to STFU and play...

ALL national media and some local media will be on Adams side, no question about it.

[KRL]

He wants to go to DAL and get a new contract.  Here's what's so moronic about that, the

two last contracts Jones has negotiated have been absolute battles between the team

and Elliott and now Prescott.  Why would Adams think his negotiations would be any

different???

Because unfortunately like many athletes today who grew up with social media, he has zero sense of reality.

The cowboys wont even give Dak franchise QB money, but there gonna give up two number ones to turn around and pay Jamal 20 mill a year??

Eh.  For a time.  The more outlandish his behavior the more it'll become popular to tear him down rather than prop him up.  

The national media only cares about this stuff for a bit, then it fades into the background.  When (not if) Jamal starts causing trouble again, the articles will read more like "Jamal up to more Jamal antics" than it will be pro-Jamal articles.

The media thrives off controversy/negativity.  When it comes to the actual truth they don’t present it because it’s less exciting than the controversy

Jamal literally doesn't want to play for the Jets.  How can that not cause at least a LITTLE bit of tension?  If it was all about the money, sure, Snacks would be 100 % correct.  But its not.  This is about Adams trying to shoot his way out of town.

Right, but since I anticipate JD mostly staying silent, the controversial topic will be splitting the media up between pro-Jamal and anti-Jamal guys rather than focusing on JD.  JD will be the boring part of the equation.

You must be the happiest person ever if that’s your top choice.

That’s True.  This is why I also hate social media.  The media was always like this but with thing like twitter now it blows up ever bigger now and like you said splits that crowd even more

Players who have proven to be in opposition to Adams thus far since his recent tirades (let me know if I missed anyone)

• Marcus Maye
• Blessuan Austin
• Bryce Huff

Players who have been in support of Jamal Adams:

• Antonio Cromartie

 

I imagine we'll see Damien Woody, always the voice of reason on Jets' matters, falling on the "STFU, Jamal" side of the debate, especially given that he sided with Joe Douglas after the trade deadline last October.

I think you can now add Maye to Cromartie. Also could throw in Ryan Clark (not to mention just about the entire Jets locker room). 

Players stick with players when it comes to each other’s financials. They’re not going to take managements side.

*Austin and Huff? talk about movers and shakers... ?

I dont think Douglas cares,,which is why Jets finally got a GM hire right. We dont need a GM acting like todays politicians and bending to the current media items that get airplay regardless of doing any research or future impact

This.  We finally got a GM who knows what he is doing.  He is t going to be forced into doing anything even if the player continues to act like a baby.   He has a plan

The worry is not Douglas but our owner and CEO who eat up national media comments.  I can see lots of passive aggressive pushing my the johnsons on this .

They will eat up every excuse, he will say he was promised a reneg and promised no trade and he can say anything he likes.

National media who know nothing about this team will kill the jets for this no matter what.

If the Jets go 9-7 next year, none of these bozos will remember Jamal Adams. If Douglas uses the return to draft a player that contributes to a few playoff runs, it’ll be genius. Best part? Dallas has a two year window from the second they sign Prescott and/or Adams, and they’re not even that good to begin with.
