My advice to Joe Douglas was simple: Even with Jamal Adams regularly complaining about wanting a new contract and demanding a trade if the Jets weren’t willing to pay up, the only way you trade him is if you get an offer that’s simply too good to pass up.
Giving in to a player’s demands can be a dangerous game, especially in a sport that requires team chemistry.
