The Jamal Adams saga had been dragging on too long and was only becoming nastier. His constant shots at the head coach, general manager, owner, and organization as a whole left the New York Jets no choice. They needed to trade the face of their franchise.
For some reason, Jets fans never seemed to support Adams the way most fans do with superstars. The most common fault fans had was “he’s just a box safety,” a ridiculous notion that disregards how unique and dominant Adams is on the field.
The young player is on a Hall of Fame track and was a homegrown star in East Rutherford.
