I have little doubt they'd still like to trade for Adams.

Whether the Jets will take their paltry offer is the question.

For those who say, “why pay Adams and not Jones?”, Byron is a good 8-10ish corner and Adams is a top 3 S entering his prime. Dude had 6.5 sacks last year as a freakin safety. He can wreck a game for an offense and is a great leader and presence.

The Cowboys had the money to give Jones top of the market money, they chose not to. Had Jones been the similar caliber as Adams, he would’ve probably been retained.

If you value S as a position that deserves to be paid, Adams is who you pay.

The Jets have no leverage. They will lose him for nothing except a comp pick after next year. The Cowboy’s only competition right now is the value of that comp pick. To offer a first round draft pick right now is stupid unless we get into a bidding war with other teams.

Probably. But give up picks and the money? IDK about how smart that would be.

Definitely see the cons of the situation, but it wouldn’t be without any pros. I’m about 50/50 on it myself

With that being said, a 2nd round pick should entice the Jets as that is more than the comp pick and I do that trade today if available. A good defensive player in the 1st (even if we have to trade up with our 3rd) and Adams in the 2nd can immediately turn this defense around.

The issue isnt Adams vs Byron. It's Adam's vs Byron plus Tyron plus Delpit plus a wide receiver in the third round. That is a horrible offer.

I dunno folks.

Local media and fans dont give me the impression that they want to.just dump him because they think they cant sign him.

They can always tag him twice, and I think he is still a part of their plan to turn things around, and get him signed at some point.

I WANT the guy in Dallas. I do. I just dont think its a dump for whatever you can get scenario.
