More than 50 years after a New York Godfather made the phrase, “We will make you an offer you cannot refuse,” part of the American lexicon, a New York General Manager has turned that phrase around.
“This was an offer we couldn’t ignore,” GM Joe Douglas said Saturday of the trade he sends to safety Jamal Adams and a 2022 fourth-round pick to the Seahawks for two first-round picks, a third-round pick. and security Bradley McDougald.
“This exchange gives us a unique opportunity to enhance our team with multiple first-round picks in each of the next two years and the flexibility to continue building this team for the future,” said Douglas. “Adding Bradley McDougald’s consistency and production to this year’s team was an important piece that gives us more defense experience. While we have maintained our interest in Jamal Adams having a long and successful career with the Jets, we know that it is important to be prepared and willing to adapt to new offerings and circumstances. As I’ve always said, my job is to listen to calls and this offer was one we couldn’t ignore. “
In fact they could not. Adams wanted to leave, with his latest efforts, including calling the United States owner / ambassador to Britain, Woody Johnson, after allegations of workplace misconduct in his government role and speaking on the record about the matter. on whether coach Adam Gase is the right man to lead the team. . The scorched earth campaign could easily have generated commercial interest, either because a team like the Seahawks considered the Jets to be desperate or because the Seahawks would not want to deliver significant value for chronic discontent that, if things go wrong. In Seattle, you can target property, teammates, and / or coaches there.
So no, the Jets couldn’t say no. They had to be thrilled to have gotten what they could, just a few days before Adams had presented himself to training camp with an attitude that would have given a team that already has a lot to worry about more things to navigate as the season is coming.
