In a slightly unsurprising turn of events, Jets Safety Jamaal Adams has requested a trade. This of course comes on the back of an offseason where links between Adams and the Cowboys were growing stronger by the day and the possibility of a trade only seemed to rise.
Adams clearly wants his deserved payday, but the Jets had other ideas. Captained by cap-savvy GM Joe Douglas, it’s hardly shocking that they want to extract every last dollar from a cheap rookie contract on a player that’s already among the elite at his position.
What really added fuel to the fire was the fact that the Jets would then go on to select Cal’s Ashtyn Davis in the Draft, whose stock fell due to a December surgery and a lack of pro-day activity amidst the COVID-19 outbreak.
