Jets S Jamal Adams Not Expected To Take Part In OTAs, Name To Watch For Potential Trade?

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jets S Jamal Adams is not expected to participate in the team’s virtual offseason program once it officially opens.

 

Schefter says the Jets have not expressed any official interest in extending Adams up to this point in the offseason.

Last year, the Jets at least entertained the idea of trading Adams before the deadline and Schefter mentions that he will be a name to monitor during and leading up to the draft.

Back in January, Adams said he and the team had engaged in small discussions about a contract extension, but they hadn’t gotten into much detail. Even so, Adams mentioned that he fully expected to sign a long-term deal with New York this offseason. 

Adams wasn’t happy that his name had come up as a potential trade candidate last year, but it appeared as though the two parties had mended fences and were heading toward an extension this offseason. 

However, it sounds like that is not the case and there’s still some question about his future in New York. 

Adams, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Jets back in 2017. He just finished the third year of his four-year contract worth $22,256,084, which includes a signing bonus of $14,326,244.

The contract also has a fifth-year option for the team to consider in 2020.

In 2019, Adams appeared in 14 games for the Jets and recorded 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles, one recovery, two defensive touchdowns and seven pass defenses.

We’ll have more on Adams as the news is available.
