Pro: What the haul means for the rebuild

Trading Adams would be much more than simply dumping a player in exchange for draft picks because contract negotiations went south.

Moving Adams would give the Jets and Joe Douglas enough draft capital to continue the rebuild of the roster. That means the potential to add more weapons for Sam Darnold and to build a more complete defense through the draft instead of one centered around a star player in the secondary.

Trading Adams would also give New York more financial flexibility down the road. Not extending Adams means more money to spend in the future, which could entice Douglas to pull the trigger on a trade.
