A quick Jamal Adams, #Cowboys and #Jets thread...
1. Without a contract extension, Jamal Adams wants to be traded. #Jets prefer to keep him and extend him in 2021. If teams are interested in Adams, they can call. But Jets are not going to shop him. His agent doesn& #39;t have the green light to set up a deal, either. Teams must call.
2. Sticking point on extension is simple. Guys like Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack played four seasons (and won DPOY) before their extensions. #Jets don& #39;t want to do Adams& #39; deal after three years for the highest-paid-safety money he wants. In 2021 it could be a different story.
3. Adams& #39; trade preference is the #Cowboys, but that& #39;s not the only team he& #39;d play for. There are others. But it& #39;s been clear for a while to the Jets he& #39;d like to be close to his home town, which is near Dallas. This feels a lot like the Earl Thomas crossroads with the #Seahawks.
4. The price for Adams may be more complicated than what was reported by Michael Irvin. The 1st & 3rd round pick is correct. But last year& #39;s trade deadline mess involving Adams and #Cowboys left the #Jets feeling burned. That could linger into the price point this time around.
5. #Cowboys haven& #39;t called #Jets about Adams yet. And they face two possible financial hurdles if they deal for him: Either ask him to play on his rookie deal another year (like Jalen Ramsey did with the #Rams to get that deal done), or get Dak Prescott signed to a long term deal
6. I firmly believe there is some family & emotion wrapped up in this. Adams has been upset since last season& #39;s trade deadline drama, and he& #39;s getting some strong trade advisement from his father George, who was a former NFL running back and first round pick. It& #39;s a little messy.
