New York Jets standout safety Jamal Adams has demanded a trade, and the 49ers reportedly are on the shortlist of teams that he would welcome a trade to. There likely are several reasons for that, but at least one seems readily apparent.
While the 49ers were marching their way through the NFC playoffs, Adams and the Jets were stuck at home after a 7-9 regular season and third-place finish in the NFC East. It would appear Adams tuned in to watch San Francisco's divisional-round win over the Minnesota Vikings, because he came away extremely impressed with the performance of the 49ers' defensive front in that game.
