Jets Jamal Adams trying to be traded to

[lovelystyle]

wants to be traded to the . That tidbit is neither new nor considered breaking news, considering he said it in October after he discovered the were taking calls from Jerry Jones and Co. to facilitate a potential trade. It never went through, however, due in large part to an and the Cowboys unwillingne s to pay the price, but the damage had already been done in Adams' eyes. The All-Pro safety made his feelings about it known at the time, and didn't bite his tongue when doing so."When I found out I was being shopped, when  J T Brown Men Jersey I found out I was on the verge of being traded, that was one of the teams I told ESPN analyst Ryan Clark I'd love to go to -- ," Adams told media in 2019.Douglas and the Jets were attempting to keep any trade discu sions under wraps as they continued to publicly profe s Adams' future value to the team, but they couldn't shield the veteran safety from leaks that found their way to Adams by way of North Texas."People have to understand I'm born and raised in Dallas," he noted. "I find out every little thing you can think of. ... I find out everything."  Fast forward to June 2020 and nothing has changed on that front.The uber-frustrated 24-year-old had long held firm his want of signing a long-term deal with the Jets, but lack of negotiation between the two sides has led to him reportedly demanding a trade. And with that, his longtime eyeing of the Cowboys as a potential landing spot is now again thrust into the limelight, and he's being no more shy about it now than he was in October when he openly confe sed his affections.In a recent video filmed by a fan, Adams was posited the question of when he'll land in Dallas, to which he replies, "I'm trying, bro."   I got proof that Jamal Adams wants to come to Dallas  Jakson  (@JaksonVelasquez)  That's the problem, though: He's trying ... and out loud.Adams' wooing of the Cowboys conjures memories of when All-Pro safety lobbied to join the team in December 2017, with a campaign that dominated the headlines for the following 10 months. Granted, Adams didn't run into the Dallas locker room and tell the head coach to "come get me" like Thomas did, but his public campaign and social media like-train -- i.e., strategically liking particular posts that continually stoke the fires of Adams-to-Dallas headline -- is e sentially deja vu, because it's following Thomas' blueprint to the letter.  In the end, the were so soured on sending Thomas to the Cowboys that they gouged the price and then shrugged off an eventual first-round pick from the  Dan Girardi Kids Jersey Cowboys altogether, fully prepared to instead accept two second-round picks from the in a deal that was only a day or so away from landing, had Thomas not broken his leg before it could.I'll repeat this for increased digestion: The Seahawks were so perturbed and unwilling to send Thomas where he wanted to go, namely to the Cowboys, and that they were going to accept a a couple of riskier second-rounders from the Chiefs instead; even knowing the more potent Chiefs would likely be sitting at the bottom of that round in subsequent seasons. The Cowboys would go on to instead give the pick to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for Amari Cooper, who signed a five-year, $100 million deal in 2020, filling the void at wide receiver after not being permitted to fill the one at safety.And now let's circle back to Adams, shall we?Douglas is already displeased with the Cowboys for what he views as being the leak of the October talks, the likes of which sowed the seeds of discord we all now see between Adams and the Jets. With the safety doubling and tripling down on his love of his hometown team and the Cowboys having already attempted to trade for him once, Douglas knows he can take the John Schneider approach of price gouging Dallas if he so chooses, even if only to keep them fruitle sly dangling on his hook. In the end, Douglas also knows caving to a player's trade demand looks bad on its face, but looks Mitchell Stephens Men Jersey  terrible if it also comes attached to a plane ticket of his choosing.  And then there's the leverage, of which Adams has zero.Having executed his fifth-year option, the Jets have control of Adams for the next two seasons and potentially a third, should they choose to franchise tag him in 2022. He's only set to hit the team's salary cap for $13.24 million over the next two years, and the franchise tag amount in 2022 won't be astronomically different from the current one of $11.441 million for a safety. With neither cost nor the threat of a two-year (or longer) holdout being an i sue, also knowing Adams wouldn't accrue time toward free agency under the new collective bargaining agreement if he sat out even one season, there's nothing prompting the Jets to bend the knee to Adams Vladislav Namestnikov Women Jersey  -- much unlike Thomas, who was set to be a free agent only one season after galloping into the Cowboys locker room.At the time, the Seahawks were trying to gain a sets for a player they didn't want to overpay for, knowing they'd lose him anyway in just over a year's time. The Jets, however, aren't so pre sed. Quite the opposite, in fact, and that's why -- all things considered -- they've yet to grant Adams' agent permi sion to seek a trade partner.But wait, there's more.In comparing the situation with Adams to Thomas, it's clear that although the latter was also willing to return home to Texas, his want of becoming the highest-paid safety of all-time was just as translucent. Adams stated several times he wanted to remain in New York, as Thomas did with Seattle, the two mixing their love of the incumbent team and respective fanbase with the leveraging of just how much the Cowboys wanted them; with the ultimate goal being the same. When Thomas became a free agent after more than one failed traded attempt by the Cowboys, some thought he'd accept a discount to land in Dallas, but he instead used the established leverage and his free agency bidding war to parlay his way into a four-year, $55 million contract from the that included $32 million for the then 30-year-old.  And to the aforementioned deja vu, the Ravens are again in the mix for Adams, as they were for Thomas. For while the Cowboys are his most public love interest, they are far from the only. in the Ravens, , Seahawks, Chiefs, and , having Mike Condon Women Jersey  also stated directly he'd love to play for the as well -- which would reunite him with his former Jets head coach Todd Bowles.You see, the more teams Adams can get the attention of, the greater the likelihood of a bidding war. The greater the likelihood of a bidding war, the higher the offer. The higher the offer, the more difficult it would be for Douglas and the Jets to wave off.Still, they can, and without batting an eye; and it bears mentioning the Cowboys aren't keen on bending over backwards for a Jets team who asked for six-time All-Pro guard Zack Martin to be included in the trade package, going on to then ask for seven-time Pro Bowl tackle in a separate package when they were told "no" on Martin.
