On Tuesday afternoon NY Jets general manager Joe Douglas spoke to the media at the NFL Combine.
During that conversation for the first time, Douglas revealed that he is willing to extend Jamal Adams. Here’s his full quote from the presser:
“Jamal is an unbelievable player. We’re excited about Jamal. The plan is for Jamal to be a Jet for life. We’ve had some preliminary talks with his agent. I’m not going to get into the specifics of that. But the plan is for Jamal to be here a long time.”
This is significant because Jamal Adams still has another year left on his contract and according to the current CBA, the team still has the ability to slap the franchise tag on Jamal following the 2020 season.
