There is a chance that New York Jets safety Jamal Adams could be traded but it's probably not going to be to the Dallas Cowboys. Adams is from Texas, and a trade to his hometown team would make some sense, but NFL insider Ian Rapoport thinks that ship has sailed a bit.
NFL Network insider had this to say about the trade rumors (via Mike Fisher of Sports Illustrated):
“I sense no momentum for the Cowboys at all with Jamal Adams … I'm not saying this is dead forever, (but) … I kind of think that that ship has sailed a little bit.”
The Jets still hope to get a long term deal done with Adams, but as the weeks go on he has become more and more frustrated. Last week, the Jets said they wanted to make sure Adams was all-in, something that put Adams off a bit because what he has already done for the team. As Fisher wrote:
“The Jets say they wish to retain Adams, but the 24-year-old safety feels ‘betrayed,' sources tell CowboysSI.com, because they haven't yet given him an extension, despite that fact he has two years left on his deal, a salary of $3.5 million for 2020 and $9.9 million in 2021. The Jets last week told him they wanted to make sure he's ‘all-in” before doing a new deal — and Adams, a three-year pro who has made two Pro Bowls, one All-NFL team, is the Jets captain and is there best player — found that off-putting.”
The Cowboys are always looking for help in the secondary. But for now, it appears that they are going to continue to have to look somewhere else because Adams isn't likely to be in their plans.
