Jamal Adams will not have to wait too long to match up against his former team
Adams was dealt from New York to Seattle in exchange for a 2021 first-round pick, a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick and S Bradley McDougald on Saturday. The Jets also sent the Seahawks a 2022 fourth-round pick.
Coincidentally, the Jets and Seahawks are scheduled to play in Week 14 of the regular season in Seattle. It will be the first time Adams is on the opposite sideline from the Jets.
It was only a matter of time before Adams got traded. Tension between him and the team began back in October when Adams’ name was brought up in trade talks prior to the trade deadline. However, the Jets weren’t going to deal him unless they were blown away with an offer. After not speaking to Joe Douglas and Adam Gase for a few weeks, Adams cleared the air with both.
However, this offseason, Douglas said he wanted to make Adams a “Jet for life,” but he never sent him a contract proposal, according to Adams. The Jets, with two more years of control, wanted to wait on an extension. Adams wanted one now.
Adams responded by making himself a distraction over the last few months. He’s talked about not wanting to be with the Jets on social media and blasted Douglas and Gase in an interview. Adams also called out owner Woody Johnson for alleged racist and sexist comments.
Now Adams will get to remind the Jets of what they are missing in December. You just know Adams will have a little extra motivation for that game.
