More stories today that Cowboys and Jets are close to a deal for Jamal Adams
Jets want a 1 and a 2 Cowboys offering a 1 and 4
The compromise is easy if there that close
If Douglas trades Adams away for anything less the Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson then I will take this season off from the Jets
It won’t be Mahomes or Watson but I want equal value as that’s who we passed up for Adams
If we needed him that bad to pass up two franchise QBs why would we dump him now when he has actually exceeded expectations
I’m a firm believer that when it comes to future picks, they should be downgraded one round for the wait. That being said my asking price would be two 1sts this years & next, 1st & 2nd this year, high 2nd & 3rd this year & next years 1st (looking at you Browns). Adams and Derwin James are the future at safety in the NFL, any team that has one is lucky.
On to my favorite part, the contract. The team that acquires Adams could sign him to a 3yr 52M extension that would blow Eddie Jackson’s recently signed 4yr 58.4M deal out of the water, making Adams the highest paid safety. However when you add in Adams’s last year of his rookie contract his extension is really a 4yr deal worth 59M, still the highest paid safety but only by 150K.
I think as long as said contract has upwards of 30M guaranteed, Adams takes that payday this year and it allows him to hit FA again at 28. It also allows his new team to spread that contract out an extra year.
Thanks for an informative and thought out posts
Your idea of two 1s this year plus is in line with what I would like to see but the Jets are not asking for that much
The Cowboys #1 was a second part of the first round pick while the discussion were going on ( it ended up the 17th pick ) Hets wanted a second rounder and another second rounder the following year (that’s what I read in a few spots) Cowboys were willing to give up there First plus a 3rd rounder
Those who followed my Jets post on Old MutHead know I called for a QB that draft (look at the roster it was our biggest need )
I admit that (just from watching College football ) I would have went with Watson over Mahomes and my posts will bear that out
I wasn’t high on Trubisky but I thought he would be a good QB
Jets have the money to spend on Adams and more room next year if he waits
The Jets rarely tag a player and if they do it’s to trade him so I’d like to see Adams get a new long term contract this year

Hindsight is 2020, Brooks and many others had Deshone Kizer as a top QB in that class two days before the draft. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000802450/article/bucky-brooks-top-5-2017-nfl-draft-prospects-by-position-30
