Which option do you take if you're Joe D?

[predator_05]

Ignore the diversion, and continue holding out for a serious offer. Make these terms clear to his agent, and put the player on notice.

 

I'm not sure the drama is affecting the team at this point. His team-mates could roll their eyes and assume it's just business.

I started a thread before the COVID19 hit hard that most major sporting events will be cancelled in 2020 and it is coming to fruition. With this said, Adams will be sitting out this year regardless and only a GM called Maccagnan would be crazy enough to sign-and-trade for Adams with the current situation in the world of sports. 

Joe D should probably get rid of him before the beginning of the 2021 season; I just don't think anyone will take on him in 2020 unless it comes at a discounted price regardless of his talent.  

[DJF71]

Let him rot on the bench for next 3 years since we control his ass.

Get the offer you want or let him sit on the bench for the next 3 years of his prime. 

[heymangold]

the one thing he can't do is trade him to a team he wants to go to.  this isn't the NBA.  if that team gives JD the best offer, then by all means.  But "we don't negotiate with terrorists".

[Barkus]

Keep him this year and look to deal him after this season or maybe work out a franchise tag sign and trade after 2021 season.

Them, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland or Redskins.

The option I'd take is to wait for a fair offer from any team besides the Cowboys. Then fine his ass every day of training camp and don't wipe away the fine when he eventually shows up. That'll send a message to every other player.

[JetsFanatic]

Adams is trying to antagonize the Jets into a trade. JD should hold firm on what he considers fair compensation from a team for Adams. If JD does not get his price than Adams remains a Jet until such time occurs.

None of these options.

You don't trade until you get a monster deal and meanwhile you let him play.

He is not going to sit during the season, because this will ultimately tank his value.

He will be pissed and whine and complain but he is ultimately stuck.

If you trade him for pennies, it shows as an organization that you are willing to allow a whiny bitch get his way and will give fire to future players to do the same thing.

I agree! You can't let him punch his way off the team for poor value. Either the Jets get their price or he stays on the team.

1. File a tampering charge against DAL and Adams.  This has been
floating around since the trade deadline last year.  Where there's
smoke there's fire

2. Once that's complete I would trade him to DAL for Gallup, a 
2021 #1 and a 2022 #2

[sourceworx]

Send him to the Redskins so he has to play the Cowboys twice a year. Then extend Marcus Maye and take out a page in the Washington Post to announce it.

[rangerous]

slow news day.  who cares what adams says at the moment.  it only becomes an issue if he decides not to attend training camp or hold out.

The tampering is coming from Adams agent... JA has always wanted to be a cowboy and now he thinks he can leverage himself there.

If you can get that value for Adams, JD would be considered god level around here.

[slats]

What do choices #3 or #4 do for the team? A few vindictive poll voters in there... 

My stance on Adams hasn't changed since before last year's trade deadline: hold firm, assess the market, then take the best offer and go. And I don't care if the best offer comes from Dallas or within the division, I've got a football team to improve.

Yup.  My approach would be....don’t change a thing.  He’s under contract for 2 more years.  He’s expected to show up and play.  Communicate that definitively to him and his agent.  Then focus on the rest of the team.

Does Jamal know that these are the Jets we’re talking about?  This team has had drama for decades....it’s nothing new and I don’t think it will sway Joe D one way or the other.  Jamal’s demands are really just sugar for him, Jets fans and the media.  Quite honestly, I don’t think Joe D is staying awake at night over this and Gregg Williams will simply coach him whenever he’s on the field.

We're trying to make the team better right?  Being a bigger baby than Adams just to get him back doesn't really fit the job title for JD

You either work it out with Jamal, get him back in good graces playing his ass off or you trade him to the highest bidder for the max return.

That should be answered by the spiritual and/or energy power above us.

No vote. 3 of the 5 choices are not rooted in reality.

Adams has been a very good player on a sh!t team.  However he is not a 20 mil player and is not the player he and some fans are hyping him to be. Shooting himself out of town may actually turn out to be shooting himself in the foot.

My favorite is option 3.

That's what i call the 'terrell owens situation'.

 

When your star player starts doing sit-ups and dumbbell curls in the driveway, and holds his own press conference with the cameras around him, you know it's time to push the button:

PRECEDENCE

Question ... when do you think the next crying baby, i want my bottle, player that will challenge Joe Douglas in a situation like this be?

 

 

 

[Lot K Tailgaters]

I’d suspend him or see what disciplinary options are available.  If not let him ride the bench for a bit and put him in the doghouse.  You CANNOT let a player on a rookie contract dictate things.  If an offer you cannot refuse comes along then trade him.  Otherwise let him ride the bench to send a message that you won’t tolerate these types of antics.  
 

This is a guy on a rookie contract even stating teams he will go to.  The Jets have the right to trade him ANYWHERE they wish.

And other than making a point everyone knows is an option, how does it make the Jets a better team to have their best player who you would want contributing by playing or by bringing in assets to be in limbo adding nothing to the team?  Its all about roster management, not making points.  He needs to be playing or traded.  Drag it out, punish him, make him into more of an annoyance and problem than he actually is and youre decreasing his value.

[Beerfish]

The guy is a total phony, Douglas will let it blow over and adams will be back playing and saying that he wants to be a jetforlyfe.

The Jet owners/CEO will also interfere in this, as they did before before all is said and done.

And what's the perception around the league should the Jets "let him rot"? Would free agents think this was a good place to come to? 

Jamal Adams is in the wrong, 100%. It's obvious that he's trying to shoot himself out of town. I understand the desire to not cave to his wishes or demands, but there's no benefit to letting him sit. You're gonna pay him $10M next year to spitefully glue his ass to the bench? Not exactly solid asset management there. 

No, the Jets have to hope that there's more than one team out there willing to trade picks and/or players for a disgruntled, narcissistic box safety, and take the best offer that comes their way. I'd prefer it before training camp, but I'd get it done before the trade deadline. If Adams does decide to hold out, it'll weaken the trade market. I think that would be a bad move on his part, but I think this current stance is a bad move, too. Definitely want to trade him when his value's at its highest. That was probably last year's trade deadline, and it could be continuing to deteriorate.
