Gase got our GM canned and told our owner about Douglas and then the rest is history. What do the Jets need to be successful soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have the front office to add the talent finally and our coaching staff is good enough IMO. But if we keep switching coaches and GMs every couple years we’ll never get it right.

Scoundrel Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Getting McDougald is an underrated aspect of this deal. To get a seasoned replacement for Adams who in all my watching appeared solid on top of all that draft capital ensures less of a step back for the defense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is basically saying its weird how Jamal was recruiting him only to leave. Also that internet has got people doing things for attention even if they dont believe it. Not sure how both are related though They’re related because of social media culture. Where people post things on Social Media (the Internet) to make things sound/seem better than what it is. Eg: The married couple who is struggling to hold on yet post happy family pictures to keep up appearances. Bell is relating this concept to Jamaal Adams recruiting. Adams likely talking about how things are changing and how the team is on the up and up and how the coach and GM have a vision for building this team into division champs, only for a year later for him to be chirping to the media about how he’s felt the Jets front office has been “dysfunctional” this whole time. Meaning he KNEW it was a toxic situation, yet he was still trying to recruit people INTO that situation. Which is true. Regardless of how anyone feels about Bell, that point can’t be contested here. If I work at a company that’s legitimately trash and I hate it, why would I go out of my way to recruit someone to work for my company? It’d be one thing if that person joined of their own volition. Or if they asked me my opinion and I was upfront with them about the culture of the team. But to recruit them? That’s legitimately messed up.

The Jets got a good haul back for a player that was surely going to leave. My best offer for Adams would have been Earl Thomas and a 2nd, but seeing what the Jets got in return it’s clear they got back great value. That said, usually I’m not a fan of such deals where teams give up multiple picks. But this is the first time I’m a fan. I think while the Seahawks paid a pretty penny, this is equally a great deal for them. They no longer have Russ carrying the team, he’s simply going to be carrying the offense. With Adams in tow, I think the defense can carry its own weight now. Pairing a Wilson led offense with what I think has the look of a top 10 defense and that’s a scary squad IMO. I now have them as my favorite in the NFCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfNewYork Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Adams was all talk then lied to a beat reporter about team dysfunction. He also had a conversation with Bell recently where he made it seem like he wanted to stay with the team, Bell went on the radio and said as much. Adams is a phony and a fraud but he’s been that way since day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's moreso to do about the quality of that division lately. San Francisco and Los Angeles both improved, Arizona has an offense that might be one of the most potent in the league - this division is going to be a warzone. I'll say that whoever wins this division will be in the NFCCG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Great job by the Jets to get a major haul. This certainly helps the Seahawks in the immediate do they have alot of cap space to sign him long-term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 So Seattle is actually planning to go the Clowney route until next season? "Both sides agreeing before the trade that Jamal would play for his 2020 $3.9M salary with no promises thereafter"? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACO Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't understand Seattle not locking him down with that massive haul. He is basically a one year rental right now. Nothing stopping him from bouncing in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise tag - $12mm for a S, so it might be economical to play out this season and tag him next off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got two years left on his rookie deal then he can be tagged. Part of what made his contract demands to the Jets so obnoxious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
