On Monday, rumors resurfaced that the Dallas Cowboys could be looking into swinging a trade for New York Jets safety Jamal Adams.

Does that mean that the Cowboys will be open to trading the 17th overall pick in a deal for a star?

According to Jane Slater of NFL Network, Dallas owner Jerry Jones called it unlikely. Slater added that “we will see if this remains the case,” but she reiterated that sources have told her Adams is not a priority for the Cowboys right now.

Dallas was initially rumored to be interested in Adams at the trade deadline back in October, but the Jets ultimately held on to the two-time Pro Bowler.

New York general manager Joe Douglas has stated a couple of times that the Jets plan on making Adams a part of their long-term future, but as of this point, contract extension talks have yet to take place.

Douglas specified earlier this week that he will reach out to Adams after the NFL Draft.

Adams is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he played 14 games and racked up 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, an interception, a couple of forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, seven passes defended and a pair of defensive touchdowns en route to a Pro Bowl appearance and a First-Team All-Pro selection.

The 24-year-old, who played his collegiate football at LSU, was originally selected by the Jets with the sixth overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Adams made the Pro Bowl as soon as his second season after totaling 115 tackles, 3.5 sacks, a pick, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and 12 passes defended.
