Jets trade disgruntled star safety Jamal Adams to Seahawks
Associated PressNEW YORK — Jamal Adams’ wish was finally granted: He’s leaving New York in a stunning trade. “While we had maintained our interest in Jamal Adams having a long and successful career with the Jets, we know it’s important to be prepared and willing to adjust to new offers and circumstances,” general manager Joe Douglas said in a statement. “As I have always said, my job is to listen to calls and this offer was one we could not ignore.” A statement from GM Joe Douglas pic.twitter.com/tc8R4PJ4rr — New York Jets July 25, 2020 The deal ended a contentious several months for Adams and the Jets, a situation that increasingly appeared headed for a divorce when the two-time Pro Bowl selection criticized ownership early in the week and then took shots at coach Adam Gase and Douglas in an interview with the Daily News published Friday. pic.twitter.com/1jkSMJKQNH — Jamal Adams July 25, 2020 Adams followed that up with a message to the Seahawks and their fans in a Twitter post that included a graphic of the safety in his new team’s uniform.
