New York Jets star defensive back Jamal Adams is doing — and saying everything to get dealt from Gang Green.
Adams is heading into his fourth NFL season and it seems unfathomable the team that made him a No. 1 pick out of LSU in 2017 will keep him around after an interview in Friday’s New York Daily News blistered coach Adam Gase and GM Joe Douglas.
This comes a couple days after he put the team’s owner Woody Johnson on blast when allegations surfaced about the United States’ Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Adams told the Daily News GM Joe Douglas is willing to trade him before the season … if the right offer comes along.
On coach Adam Gase:
“I don’t feel like he’s the right leader for this organization to reach the Promised Land,” Adams said. “As a leader, what really bothers me is that he doesn’t have a relationship with everybody in the building.
“At the end of the day, he doesn’t address the team,” Adams added. “If there’s a problem in the locker room, he lets another coach address the team. If we’re playing sh—y and we’re losing, he doesn’t address the entire team as a group at halftime. He’ll walk out of the locker room and let another coach handle it.”
Gase’s recent claim that his relationship with Adams “has been good since the time I’ve gotten here” and “there’s been a lot of dialogue between us” appears to be the latest in a series of exaggerations and/or prevarications. Adams told the News that he hasn’t spoken to Gase since his exit interview on the day after the end of the regular season (Dec. 30).
On GM Joe Douglas’ failure to offer him a contract:
“Why would Joe come out and say, ‘We want to make Jamal a Jet for life?’” Adams said. “Why would you say that and then not even give me an offer?… Don’t B.S. me. I’m a straightforward guy. You don’t have to B.S. me, because I’m going to keep it honest.”
