Former All-Pro safety Jamal Adams, who starred in a controversial divorce with the New York Jets in 2020 that resulted in one of the most significant transfers in franchise history, longs to return to New York.<\/p>\n\n
I would love to go back to the Jets and, obviously, finish it the right way. It would be a dream come true, just to repair that relationship and somehow make things right.<\/p>Jamal Adams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Adams, 29, expressed his desire during a conversation with Jets fans on the X platform.<\/p>\n\n
The player, who is currently a free agent after his time with the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions after four years with the Seattle Seahawks, is seen as a valuable asset to the team, especially in this period of renewal under the direction of the new coach, Aaron Glenn.<\/p>\n\n
Adams expressed his intention to contribute his experience as a veteran, sharing knowledge with the young players and contributing in every way possible.<\/p>\n\n
I know I can still play football. I am healthy and I know I can impact the game in many ways. I just need that fair opportunity to get in and show what I can do.<\/p>Jamal Adams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Selected in the sixth global position in 2017, Adams established himself as one of the emerging talents in the NFL, being twice selected for the Pro Bowl and named All-Pro in 2019.<\/p>\n\n
The relationship between Adams and the management, led at that time by former general manager Joe Douglas, deteriorated when Adams made his dissatisfaction public and requested a trade in June 2020.<\/p>\n\n
A month later, he was traded to the Seahawks in exchange for first-round picks in 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n\n
The Jets used those picks to acquire guard Alijah Vera-Tucker and wide receiver Garrett Wilson.<\/p>\n\n
Adams signed a four-year, $70 million contract with the Seahawks, but injuries limited his participation to only 22 games in the following three years, leading to his release.<\/p>\n\n
Adams admitted regrets about how he handled his exit from the Jets, which generated the rejection of the fans.<\/p>\n\n
My biggest regret is that Joe Douglas and I never spoke. We never spoke on the phone once. We never spoke in person once before this trade happened. And that’s where I wish I could go back, because I can’t speak for him, but I didn’t do it the right way at the time.<\/p>Jamal Adams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Adams revealed that he contacted Douglas a year ago to apologize.<\/p>\n\n
Glenn, who was the Lions’ defensive coordinator, knows Adams well, who was part of the team’s roster for a month at the end of last season. <\/p>\n\n
The Jets continue their renewal process, and recently released 37-year-old kicker Greg Zuerlein, who had a season with poor results.<\/p>\n\n
Zuerlein’s errors in the final quarter were significant in three defeats, and he was ultimately placed on injured reserve due to a knee issue.<\/p>\n\n
Releasing Zuerlein saves the team $2.4 million in cap space. <\/p>\n\n
The Jets also parted ways with kicker Thomas Morstead.<\/p>\n\n
A competition for the kicker position is expected during training camp, with Anders Carlson competing against Missouri rookie Caden Davis.<\/p>\n\n
To fill Zuerlein’s vacancy, the team signed defensive end Michael Fletcher, an undrafted rookie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
