Dak Prescott, the centerpiece of the Dallas Cowboys offense who currently does not have a long-term deal with the club in place, has chosen to not participate in the team’s virtual offseason program.
Jamal Adams, the man many would like to be the centerpiece of the Dallas Cowboys secondary, who is in a contract dispute of his own with his current employer, has reportedly chosen to follow suit.
NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting- citing a source- that the All-Pro safety is not expected to take part in the Jets’ voluntary offseason program. As is the case with all teams, workouts will be held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic and begin later this month.
When the NFL’s voluntary virtual off-season program opens this month, Jets’ All-Pro safety Jamal Adams is not expected to participate, per league sources. The Jets have not expressed any official interest in extending Adams thus far in the off-season, per source.

Adams was the subject of rampant trade rumors last season, with the Cowboys being considered the primary suitor for the Texas native. But New York’s asking price was reportedly too high, and talks of a midseason swap stalled. Adams’s name has been linked to Dallas again this offseason, as the Jets have “sent mixed signals about his future,” according to Pro Football Talk’s Darin Gantt.
Jerry Jones would almost certainly have to give up the team’s 17th pick in next weekend’s draft in any deal to land Adams, and then give up even more.
The Jets had professed their desire for the sixth overall pick in the 2017 draft to remain “a Jet for life,” but the organization has made no official moves toward that end, leaving both the player and fans to wonder if the team is truly committed to him in the long run.
That may sound familiar to the Cowboys faithful wearing their No. 4 jerseys with bated breath.
