Jets Joe Douglas says Jamal Adams is mistaken about failed contract talks I never promised him an offer

didn't mince words about leadership in the lead-up to his departure on Saturday Bobby Brown III Jersey , but the All-Pro safety may have exaggerated at least one part of his story about failed contract negotiations with his old team. Addre sing reporters , Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that he never promised the new starter a contract offer this offseason, despite Adams implying in criticism of New York that Douglas retreated on a commitment to extend him."I just want to make it clear," Douglas said, "that I never promised an offer to Jamal or his agent, nor was I ever dishonest or ambiguous with any communications with Sony Michel Jersey their camp."The GM's remarks come days after Adams, involving two first-round draft picks, that he endured "very insulting" negotiations with Douglas and the Jets' front office. Douglas, Jared Hocker Jersey he alleged, informed him in January that he would initiate contract extension talks with team management, publicly expre sed interest in making Adams a "Jet for life" in February, then flipped the script in May after months of little progre s by saying the Jets wanted to table talks until 2021. For what it's worth, Douglas reiterated on Monday that was never his intention to Tutu Atwell Jersey trade Adams. Asked specifically about his "Jet for life" comments, the GM said "that certainly was the play when I first arrived here."A trade, of course, never fully seemed out of the question, though, with Douglas repeatedly and publicly suggesting Adams would be available for the right price. The star safety, in fact, reportedly never fully bought into New York's bra s after learning that Douglas had Kurt Warner Jersey fielded inquiries about him ahead of the 2019 trade deadline.
