After forcing his way out of Washington and to San Francisco, Trent Williams is trying to bring Jamal Adams to The Bay, too.
Williams posted an Instagram photo of him signing his restructured contract with the 49ers on Saturday. Williams tagged Adams in the photo, hinting that he’d like to see the 49ers acquire the safety in a trade.
The 49ers were one of eight teams on Adams’ wishlist of teams to be traded too. Adams also included the Ravens, Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Chiefs and Texans.
San Francisco can fit Adams into its budget. The 49ers have about $15.6 million in cap space left, which is plenty for Adams’ $3.5 million 2020 salary. Adding Adams to an already stacked defense could put the 49ers over the top after making the Super Bowl last season.
The Jets, though, have no intentions of trading Adams at the moment. They still want to try and work out an extension, just not right now. Adams still has two years left on his rookie contract with the potential of reaching four years with two franchise tags.
Adams has made it known that he wants out of New York. Based on his list of preferred teams, he wants to join a Super Bowl contender. He hasn’t done a whole lot of winning with the Jets, as they’ve gone 16-32 in Adams’ three years.
The Jets play the 49ers in Week 2 of the regular season at MetLife Stadium, but it would come as a surprise if Adams was lining up for the opposition in that game.
