yeah. I agree with you guys
I would honestly make him play out his contract and if he refuses to play send him home. if we dont stop the insanity, then everyone will be doing it and no one good will ever play for the shitty teams
You lost me there.
You can trade new draft picks, but you want to give Adam's and McGovern in exchange for lamb?
he wants Cowboys Connor McGovern, not give away our Connor McGovern lol...
I dont think Douglas is free of blame in this situation. Gase got the ball rolling when he benched Adam's. That was the beginning of everything, Douglas telling Adam's he was untouchable and then shopping him at the deadline cemented things. Then the mishandling of Osemele's injury followed by Faulks. The final straw was telling Adam's he would recieve his extension offer by January. Covid came 3 months later...
At this point I dont think the relationship is salvageable.
Get the best offer and improve the team at this point.
The 2nd year OG out of Penn State who is on the Cowboys roster. Didn't realize we had a Connor McGovern; do you mean Connor McDermott?
No ,I was referring to our new center
Ok, I'm the dummy. Need to memorize the roster - thanks!
Connor McGovern at LG, Connor McGovern at center, Connor McDermott at RT could get confusing.
Cowboys wont give up Lamb, but maybe a 1 and McGovern .
And now because of Adams shenanigans ( I love that word ) other teams will try and squeeze the Jets knowing what's at hand. Nobody is going to give up an arm and a leg now . They all know he wants out and the Jets are stuck with him at this point.
The Jets ars fucked and they hold all the cards , unbelievable
I really hope they don't give him what he wants , make him play as a disgruntled player and let the rest of the league see that.
Oh and by the way , I thought only the first family of football can demand where they want to go and play :
The Mannings
1st Horsehead , then Eli , more shenanigans
Maybe Adams should call Archie for some advice.

Other players have forced a trade and still brought a nice return, just last season Ramsey was traded for two first and a 4th. If Adam's does hold out, his trade value will diminish .
We can't have two Connor McGovern's on the same team.
This is all bullshit. Adams tried to orchestrate a trade out of here before the draft. It didn't work then and it won't work now. If I were the Jets I would hold onto to him as long as possible. I would exercise the option AND then I would franchise his azz every chance I got. You want to play hardball? Show prez what that really means.
They can certainly do that, lose Adam's after in free agency and hope to get a third round compensatory pick depending upon what Free Agents you sign.
The thing is, they save some money this year, but next year is his option year and salary is based on his 4 year performance, per the new CBA. All rookie team year one pro bowl and all pro years 2 and 3. Top under 25, voted 37th best player in the league. His salary will likely equal franchise tag money next season. Then they tag him in 2022, giving him 120% raise, tag him again at 144% in 2023. So he makes the same money,possibly a little more than he would have with an extension, and you have a disgruntled star, more drama surrounding the team and you get a late third or nothing in return. In the long run, what does it accomplish?
using those numbers, that makes this a tough decision. I dont like letting players dictate what team they play for. it makes it harder for crappy teams like ours to ever have good players while belichick has just spent 20 years offering players less money for a superbowl ring. then again, it would suck to pay Adams a lot for 2 years and then get nothing for him after.
tough decision for Douglas but it doesnt really need to be made right now
I think it should be around the trade deadline. Best value, but that more than likely means sending him to a contender.
The thing that irks me the most is his willingness to play out his current contract elsewhere. Too bad as fans, we will never know exactly what happened behind the scenes to cause this drama.
