Jamal Adams is not happy with the Jets. The safety formally requested a trade from the team on Thursday, according to multiple reports, after months of speculation over his future with the team.
Adams wants to be the highest-paid player at his position, but the Jets – who control Adams’ contract through at least the 2021 season – haven’t budged on meeting his demands.
Though GM Joe Douglas said he wanted to make Adams a “Jet for life,” Adams wrote in an Instagram post last week the Jets hadn’t even given him a proposal for a new deal.
The trade request came Thursday morning, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, potentially before Adams blasted the Jets for the second time in a week.
He again wrote an Instagram comment, saying “maybe it’s time to move on!” and that he would “protect myself just like an organization will look out for themselves at the end of the day.”
