Jamal Adams is now a member of the Seattle Seahawks, but that hasn't prevented him from speaking about his time with the New York Jets. While speaking to the media on Friday, Adams wasn't candid about how he feels about Adam Gase.
"I don't hate Adam Gase. I just didn't feel he handled certain situations well as a head coach. That's just my opinion.”

Jamal Adams began his career with the Jets as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft out of LSU. The versatile safety then immediately became one of the best defensive backs in the NFL as a rookie.
In his first three seasons in New York, he logged 273 tackles, 25 pass breakups, six forced fumbles and two interceptions. Due to being a two-time Pro Bowler and a one-time All-Pro, Adams expected himself to be with the Jets for the foreseeable future.
However, New York was hesitant to sign Adams to a long-term deal, which led to his trade to the Seahawks. However, the Jets did receive a hefty trade package, netting themselves two first-round picks and Bradley McDougald in exchange for Adams.
Even when Adams was wearing a Jets' uniform, he was noticeably growing tireless of the performance of the team. While he refrained from criticizing Gase when he was in New York, he isn't holding back now.
Despite the events that unfolded that led to his Seahawks trade, Adams wouldn't change how things transpired over the past year.
