“I was Called Selfish” – Jamal Adams on New York Jets Contract Talks
Follow Us
New York Jets Safety Jamal Adams is locked in contract negotiations with his team. Unfortunately, he is not too thrilled with its progress. In addition to that, he had some choice words to say about the Jets.
Earlier, there were reports of a ‘mega-deal’ between the Cleveland Browns and star defensive end Myles Garrett. Adams congratulated Garrett on social media and took a massive swipe at the Jets. He declared that the organization is “A lot of talk, no action.”
“I can’t even get my first proposal that they said they would send over in January…,” Adams said on Instagram. “I was called ‘selfish’ tho! Lol A lot of talk no action #StayWoke.”

The Jets are prolonging things as much as possible, because they have the leverage in contract negotiations. In other words, New York could use the franchise tag on Jamal Adams. With that kind of financial power, the Jets want to save some money and wait as long as possible to extend the LSU product.

Initially, Adams refused to participate in New York’s virtual offseason program. To make matters worse, there seems to be no headway in contract negotiations. So, this could lead Adams to sit out until he gets a new deal or is traded. Either way, it looks like Adams is running out of patience with the Jets’ front office and trying to force their hand.
