Bottom line is that Adams crossed the line when he publicly bashed the Head Coach. It was unprofessional and you keep that stuff in house and try to work it out. I have no problem with this trade at all. Douglas has a plan and a culture he wants to build. If a player doesn't fit that culture, he's gone. That's perfectly reasonable. And they got more than fair value for him, so an excellent trade. 2 firsts, a third, and a safety to fill that slot for now. That sets the Jets up for some great draft capital over the next two years. We have four first round picks in the next two years, that can be franchise changing.
I liked Adams, great player, possible future HOF player. But, management couldn't let this slide. It was the right move and probably the only move. And Adams went to a team on his wish list, so he got his wish. The Jets were fair to him.
