Mehta Exclusive with Jamal

[jetscrazey]

Jamal says Gase sucks.  Fans say Jamal's a spoiled bitch.

Good points being made all around.

He was trying to massage Jamal's massive ego.  It was the smart PR decision to say that.  Then, once Jamal's demands clearly were demonstrated to be unreasonable, he could frame it as Jamal being the problem, not the Jets.

Even now I still don't think Jamal is winning the PR battle on this one.  The more he talks the more people will tune him out.

For sure he was trying to massage his ego and that was a big mistake.  He should have known who he was dealing with.

Also, this accentuates the awful move by ownership of letting jamal come to to him behind the backs of the gm and coach and get patted on the head.

Though we may never know I would not be at all surprised if the first person to tell jamal they wanted him here for life would be the owner.

If you have a whiny beotch to deal with you never give them ammo, Douglas gave jamal ammo.

While he may be right, he's the new OBJ. I hate this cat.

OBJ is twice the player, twice the team mate and twice the team guy that jamal is. 

[CrazyCarl40]

Jamal played the Gase card way too late. Could have circled his wagons a bit earlier if he went this way sooner than complaining about money and such. Either way, neither guy is going to be involved with the Jets much longer.

I'm not a Gase guy but the Jets did go 6-2 to end the season with a crappy roster.. I'd say thats a pretty clear sign things were not turbulent in the locker room. And the guys did play hard for the HC.

All 32 teams will share the revenue drop equally, it's how the NFL is structured.  Each team is estimated to lose $171 million due to lost stadium revenue.

The Johnson Family has a net worth of $6.3 billion dollars.  Whip out a calculator.  This is a silly conversation.  $171 million is a parking ticket to someone worth $6.3 billion.  It's 2.7%.  That's a single bad day in the market.

SAR I

You say the family has a net worth of $6.3 billion. How many people are in the Johnson family (kids, grandkids, extended family)? How much of that is Woody and Chris' $? How much of that is tied up in trusts and shares in the business? How much of that is net worth on paper? How much are they paying on debt services on the Metlife stadium build (think Wilpons)?

I don't know the answers to those questions but to me there's a difference between saying a family is worth billions and saying 2 of the individuals in that family (Woody & Chris) can easily absorb a $171 million dollar loss with a business in 1 year with an uncertain 2021.

Some people want to run a business without mixing in their personal funds. Have the business revenue cover its own expenses and hopefully some profit left over.

Just saying.

Before this news broke, I got a little hope back thinking maybe Adams/NYJ can go back to normal. Nope. 

Adams is a guy who will never be happy.  Even if we gave into his insane demands he would whine about something else.  He is simply a malcontent

You may be right but he wasn’t until recently though so I don’t know. Pretty sad to watch our team crumble in front of our eyes while everyone sucks the Bills and Dolphins tiny d*cks

I agree but the part about not addressing the whole team... you saw that in videos all the time with Rex and even Bowles. I can’t remember seeing it with Gase

Not the trade piece, the contract part.  If JD did promise him they'd talk new deal this offseason and then suddenly said, nevermind. I totally get why Jamal is frustrated.

 

the thing that interests me is that they are saying the sal cap is going to be dramatically reduced next year... makes ANY premature contract unadvisable, i'd think. also, maybe, very highly speculatively like..... JD said to CJ, lets getthis done reasonably, and CJ said " how many years left on his contract? plus tagging? no ******* way."

Any well run organisation will be hesitant to go near Adams after this. Guy has absolutely decimated his own standing in the league and shown himself to be a first class diva. 

Puts Gase is a pretty horrible position. It was clear he wanted to remain professional and say the right things about Adams. Get him on the field and make sure he has the best team. Adams is trying to force his hand and undermine him to the extent that the situation is untenable. I don't even like Gase but this is such a scumbag move. 

We now have a "locker room leader" saying the coach can't lead. If Gase persists with Adams in a prominent role he only looks weaker. No way owners around the league aren't going to be wary of a player pulling that sort of sh*t. 

see bold.      did his momma play him ridiculous slef motivation tapes within the womb? this won nothing dude spouting off.

In the end, JD still holds every single card and Adams can either show up or take a walk to Detroit

For Darius Slay and (insert reasonable players/picks)

He's under contract.  He's a victim of a monopoly called NFL football.  The dream of being a player at the highest level is gone for him.  The system that rewards guys for their first 4 or 5 years based on slotting is his real problem.  He can't do anything about it. 

He's gone from happy to be here to WTF.  He's right but his frustration with Douglas and Gase is wrongly placed.  If he's really wants to do something about it he should get involved in the Union and make sure the Vets don't throw rookies under the bus in the next contract.  

This is really about the draft and slotting of player salaries.  That has zero to do with Woody, Douglas or Gase.  

Sam Bradford has made over 130 million dollars.  He was drafted before slotting in a free market for rookies.  The Jets own him, he's under contract and has to play for less than his worth on the market.  He signed on to the deal.  

Spot on. 

His problem is with the NFLPA.  They made a deal that overpays vets versus paying unproven rookies.  Now that system is showing crack when the young players outplay their contract.

If the Jets show the entire league that they are puss enough to cave to any player's media trashing, it sets a precident that they will never escape for the rest of your life.  The media is just too vicious, the agents just too greedy, the players just too impatient.

The Jets need to stick to their guns.  They aren't saying a word.  The player is digging himself a hole.  But you know what?  I couldn't care less what Jamal says in July if he plays well and we win in September.  And he needs to play hard to get that big contract next year.  We hold all the cards and no Mehta hit piece is going to change that.  Watching Jamal implode is actually entertaining.

SAR I

Funny.  I don't see it as him imploding.  Just expressing his frustration with the system.  The Jets hold the cards he just doesn't want to acknowledge that.  Oh to be 24 and have a skill with that much demand.  lol

You can bring your value down by dragging others down.

 

Any potential future coach Jamal has wil be as pleased as punch.  You'll know that you can count on him to be level headed in the locker room,  And keep things on the hush hush.  Of course, I am sure torching his own value is exactly what he has in mind.  But he's a league wide Rose Parade size float of dysfunction now..  It will go with him wherever.

Probably not tbh but was there a lot before the trade deadline fiasco? The “we need more dawgs” comment is all I can really think of but I didn’t mind that one. I don’t pay attention to players’ social media accounts so only what gets posted here, and even that is so much crap sometimes that I just don’t bother.

I said it - he's gonna follow the Jalen Ramsey playbook to get himself out of town: badmouth the coach and FO

It was clear as day to anyone who was paying attention.

Should've traded him at the trade deadline to Dallas, should've traded him before the draft, DEFINITELY should've traded him when he took his trade request public, now they're gonna be forced to trade him for 50c on the dollar. You can't have an active cancer like this on your team. End of ******* story.

That’s exactly what he wants. If the Jets want to really make a statement they tell him to go home, and see you in 2021 when you learn how to act like a pro.

What distraction.  What he says likely has zero impact on the team.  When he's on the field he plays his ass off.  He's probably worth between 13 and 15 per and we have him for under 4 this year.  If we get all pro safety play out of him you are valuing his off season nonsense at 9 to 11 million.  I think it's a big fan over reaction.  

We own him for 2 years.  He's arguably the best player on the team.  I have no doubt if we can get great value for him we will move him.  I have full confidence in Douglas to make that determination.  If we can't I suspect we have a 13 to 15 million dollar player for under 4.  Great either way. 

Adams hating Woody, Douglas, Gase and the NY Jets isn't an unreasonable position.  I've been a fan for over 50 years and often express my hatred for the Team, the owner, the GM and the HC.  I still root for the team every Sunday right to the bitter end.

The second I heard this guy say he hadn't spoken to one of his injured players in several weeks it told me all I needed to know about how he views his players and the type of leader he is.  This quote from Jamal, even being the egomanica he is, is 100% believable.  Now, can we get rid of both of them please?

Remember when the Tuna kicked Chrebet on his injured angle to see if he was ready to play.. That's your type of HC..

And Parcells wasn't doing that because he didn't give a sh*t about Chrebet.  He did it because he thought Chrebet was lying to him about being well enough to play that week.  Doesn't make it right, but I'd say indifference to your players is worse.

To be fair, Alex Lewis is a fringe starter who could be looking to gain favor from Gase to secure playing time.  Bell said nothing of Gase's realtionship with the team, only their relationship one-on-one.

[Dunnie]

I say sit in for the season for conduct detrimental to the team.

 

Then sit him next year just because f*** it.

 

Then franchise his ass and sit him again.

 

And don't let him in the training building or on the sideline or in a locker room for the three years we have control of him.

I disagree, KRL.  Gore came here becasue nobody else was interested.  I mean, a 37 y/o RB coming off of his worst season as a pro and under 3 YPC in the second half of the year isn't a guy that teams have bidding wars over.  I believe Gore said the Raiders were also interested but what else was he going to say?  "Yeah, nobody called all offseason until Adam picked up the phone".
