Jets S Jamal Adams Requesting a Trade?

He'd be worth a 1st round pick. Generational safety.

Not every guy who requests/demands a trade is actually going to get one.

One, he greatly improves your team's chance of competing for a championship immediately.

Two, he's under contract through 2021 once team exercises his 5th year option.

If there was a way to guarantee that he would finish out the rookie contract including the 5th year option, then a 1st would be reasonable but there is no method do do that.

He makes way more sense than MFitz would have for the Cowboys because he would play SS and has SS size at 214 pounds and is 6'0 or 6'1.

Also he has very long arms which is something that Kris Richard really likes. MFitz has below average arm length.

The Jets thought they were going to be good. They signed Le'veon Bell to what amounts to a 2 year contract.

Once they realize that they're not close to a contender, then they might start looked to trade him. IIRC the trade deadline is Oct 29.

Adams is already an elite safety.

Minkah has the potential to be an elite slot safety.

I don't know if that matters because regardless of the quality of MFitz at positions other than SS, the Cowboys like Woods at FS and have better than average depth at CB.

If the Cowboys really wanted a FS or FS/CB type player they would have drafted Thornhill.

Even if MFitz projected to be an elite outside CB, that is a need for next season at which point MFitz is just 1 season away from demanding a new contract if he really did perform as an elite CB.

My basic point is that it's funny that there was such a huge number of posts and threads about trading for MFitz but far fewer with regards to Adams despite the fact that Adams makes 100x more sense for the Cowboys.

I think that would change if the Jets acknowledge the possibility of trading him.

Idk man, dude has like 62 followers.

He’s a Dallas local. Graduated from Hebron High School in Carrollton

I drive by there quite frequently.

I'm basically famous

Yes, that's possible.

The extreme quantity of people that wanted to trade for MFitz still baffles me.

 

[Silverstar]

I like Adams, but just 1 INT in 34 games is not a ballhawk type of safety. Isn't that what we are looking for?

By comparison, Earl Thomas had 7 INT's in his first 2 seasons.

 

[bsbellomy]

I would burn a first on Adams easily.

I'm glad you are in such a giving mood. You know I wasn't sure a guy that was drafted 6th overall and exceeded all expectation was worth a low 1st rounder.

Cryptic. Hard not to notice that Dallas Stars tattoo though..
