On Wednesday, the thought the San Francisco 49ers could somehow land New York Jets All-Pro safety Jamal Adams via a trade gathered a bit of momentum, thanks to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Grant Cohn suggesting a would-be deal was “picking up steam.”
The report didn’t say a deal was imminent, although the disgruntled Adams did list the Niners as one of his preferred trade destinations, and it sure seems as if his time in New York will come to an end sooner than later.
For starters, San Francisco executing a trade for Adams would be a highly risky move.
