Jamal Adams Blasts Jets GM For Allegedly Shopping Him In Trades 'Behind His Back' (TWEETS)

Jamal Adams Blasts Jets GM For Allegedly Shopping Him In Trades ‘Behind His Back’ (TWEETS)

One of the biggest names out there that looked to be on his way out of dodge was Jamal Adams, who had been rumored to be interested in going to the Dallas Cowboys, but nothing ever came of it.

The 2019 NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday afternoon, and Jamal Adams is still a New York Jet.

The Pro Bowl safety eventually took to Twitter to deny all reports that he had requested any trades from the Jets and blasted the GM for going behind his back.

Any reports of me asking to be traded from the New York Jets are completely false.

At the end of the week last week, I sat down with the GM and Coach Gase and told them I want to be here in New York. I was told yesterday by my agent that the GM then went behind my back and shopped me around to teams, even after I asked him to keep me here! Crazy business.

ESPN’s Ryan Clark was the one who reported that Adams wanted to return home to Texas, while others reported that there was mutual interest between Adams and the Cowboys:

My understanding is that valiant efforts were made last night to convey Jamal Adams' interest in playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Will leave it at that.

Source: Jets have indeed engaged in trade conversations with the Cowboys involving Jamal Adams, as @Rapsheet said.

My understanding is that Adams would welcome the change of scenery back to his hometown.

General manager Joe Douglas confirmed that the two did meet, but stated Adams was part of the longterm plan for the franchise.

Adam Gase on the Jets being open to trading Le'Veon Bell: "That was news to me." …. Adds that nothing was real.

He also said nothing was real re: Jamal Adams.

Cowboys offered a first-round pick for Adams. Guess that's not real.

Bottom line: Jets were willing to trade Le’Veon Bell, Jamal Adams and Robby Anderson to dump a bad contract (Bell) and stockpile draft picks to help Joe Douglas rebuild the team.

Everything else is semantics and spin.
