Things weren’t pretty leading up to former LSU safety Jamal Adams’ departure from the New York Jets.
Shortly after it was announced that Adams would be headed to the Seattle Seahawks, Jets running back Le’Veon Bell took to Twitter with a tweet that appeared be aimed at Adams.
“ppl do all the hootin & hollerin to get you brought in, just to leave…lol like people weird yooo, the internet got these dudes doin whatever for attention, even when they tell you sh*t they don’t believe themselves.”

It didn’t take Adams long to take notice and fire back, writing, “Noted. See u Week 14!”
Bell responded shortly after.

It was only about two weeks ago that Bell and Adams had a “great talk” on the phone when they discussed Adams’ future with the Jets.
“I think he wants to be (with the Jets),” Bell said on a WGHT radio appearance. “I just think he wants to get paid. I think he’s in the same situation I was three years ago. He’s a young player. He’s been at the top of the game, playing at a high level and feels like, ‘Dang, I just want to get compensated.'”
In the deal, Seattle obtained Adams and a 2022 fourth-round draft pick, while New York got a 2021 first-round pick, a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick and safety Bradley McDougald.
