Report: Jets still unlikely to move Adams after latest outburst
The New York Jets remain uninterested in trading Jamal Adams following his latest outburst toward the organization, sources told Brian Costello of the New York Post.
Fed up with how long he's waited to be offered a contract extension, the All-Pro safety requested a trade in June. He previously claimed the Jets told him a proposed extension would be delivered in January.
In his most recent tirade, the outspoken defender laid out the mixed messages he's received from Jets management about the team's intention to sign him long term. He added that general manager Joe Douglas is willing to move him, though Adams' camp hasn't received permission to discuss trade parameters with interested clubs.
He also criticized Adam Gase, saying he doesn't believe the second-year head coach is the right leader for the Jets.
Adams has called out the team numerous times during the offseason, both vocally and through social media, seemingly in an attempt to force their hand into trading him.
Publicly, the Jets have lauded Adams, with Douglas saying at the scouting combine in February that he wanted to keep the LSU product in New York for the remainder of his career.
Adams, who had 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and two interceptions a year ago, said he isn't planning to hold out of training camp. He is signed through the 2021 season.
