Jamal Adams Requests Trade

Yes if it was possible. The guy is a rare 10 sack DT type.

No way they let him go. He was a big part of their season. Leon Lett without the highly public and visible gaffs. And with more sacks.

Oh I agree. They should not let him go.

He's threatening to not play the season similar to what Bell did a few years ago. I have no idea how likely that is but if he's serious about it the Chiefs are going to have to seriously consider moving him if they aren't going to pay him.

I know Mahomes is going to cash in but they should get a deal done with this guy too.

They are really cap cash strapped though.

He should be paid well while he's young and can honor the huge contract. This is a direct side effect caused by the league having to overpay QBs.

I feel like there's a growing market for good-not-great QBs who might accept a "mere" 10 mil per season. With that kind of contract in place, teams would have 20-40 million more per year to spend on key players.

Overpaid Jimmy G went to the Superbowl, and I feel like Ryan Fitzpatrick or Colin Kaepernick would have played at least as well if not better on that loaded team.

Just imagine the additional players they could have added that might have put them over the top.

I actually thought at one point McVay would sort of try something like that. But then he paid Goff. Really the teams with a good rookie QB seem to have all the advantage. Veterans don't sign long term deals at 7-10 mil. But a rookie you can have at that price for 4 years. But good rookie QBs are hard to find.

Some team has to set the precedent and just let their quarterback go, rather than just being next in line to set the top of the market. Maybe that's Belichick and the Patriots who said goodbye to the GOAT and just signed Newton for next to nothing? New England has always done their own thing and have made unconventional decisions work in the past.

Quarterback salaries are already well out of hand and it's just a matter of time before a team realizes it and just lets their guy walk.

And we squandered our low priced rookie QB contract. With a real defense in place Dak had a chance to have had multiple playoff wins under his belt by now.

It's already happened with the Redskins, they let Cousins walk and it blew up in their face.

It's just too hard to find a good QB.

Granted they could've gotten lucky and found one, but that's the point. If you already have a good one, pay him and you don't need luck.

There is of course a threshold where the QB becomes so expensive that it prevents fielding a competent team, but I don't think we've reached that point yet.

KC and Houston are about to find out. Maybe us too, depending how high Dak's deal is. 4/40 per will make it hard as hell with the salary cap drop next year.

I guess so, but I think Washington has had much bigger problems going on. Problems that include and preclude Cousins.

I agree, and given that Prescott was Option C and the first two choices were epic busts, I'm not eager to have the Cowboys braintrust go looking for a new one.

I think it's got to be pretty close.

Isnt that what Skins did with Cousins? Post franchise tags, that is. They said, go get that money

Pretty much, yeah.

Publicly attacked his head coach today. He's trying to misbehave his way out of NY.

I'd be less inclined to give him significant money, which means I'd be less inclined to trade for him even at a reduced cost. It would have to be pennies on the dollar at this point. He's misbehaved himself into the "elevated risk of causing significant dead cap money" category.

Yeah, the fact that he thinks he can act a fool to go to a new team any time he is unhappy doesn't make me have warm and fuzzy feelings about the guy. It makes me feel like if he isn't happy about something with a new team he will do it all over again.

He'd never do this in Dallas as long as he's playing at an elite level because Jerry will always make sure an elite player who loves being in Dallas is happy/paid.

Nothing he's doing now would deter me from trading a 1 for him, although I do want to see what happens first as far as an agreement between the owners/NFLPA on the cap.

AB did the same crap with the Steelers, then the Raiders.

The price is dropping with every outburst. Guys like him are never happy though, even if you pay them. Money just makes you more of what you already are. Beckham got big $ and immediately stabbed his team in the back with that magazine interview. Then he made trouble in Cleveland. I can't imagine McCarthy would be happy with a guy who publicly undermines his head coach.

I see it differently. I see a frustrated player trying to push the right buttons to get off of that Jets team.

Let's face it, saying nothing for the past month didn't get him anywhere and basically allows the Jets to keep things status quo. So now he's back to trying the 'poke the bear' approach to try to get out of there.
