Three years later, the New York Jets are still reaping the rewards of fleecing the Seattle Seahawks into taking Jamal Adams out of their hair. Adams’ legacy in New York is that of Garrett Wilson and Alijah Vera-Tucker — and a meme.

NFL Network analyst Kyle Brandt attended Jets training camp on Monday. At the facility’s entrance, he re-created the meme of Adams getting locked out during training camp in 2018.

It’s the second time in the last week that Brandt has brought up an outside reference concerning the Jets. He compared the Aaron Rodgers-Garrett Wilson relationship to The Sopranos.
Brandt and Peter Schrager interviewed Sauce Gardner, Quincy Williams, and Solomon Thomas at Jets camp. Sauce told them that Aaron Rodgers is very difficult to intercept and that he hopes to get to the $30 million-a-year threshold in his contract. With back-to-back first-team All-Pro nods to start his career, Gardner will likely approach that threshold.
Williams discussed his journey from elite swimmer to first-team All-Pro. He grinned from ear to ear talking about becoming a girl dad soon. He also admitted that he does poke at Quinnen for coming in higher on the NFL Top 100 list (No. 32 vs. No. 37), although he stated that Quinnen knows more than him about football.
Thomas commented on being the veteran in the Jets’ room and his leadership responsibilities. He called Robert Saleh “passionate and energetic” and spoke of Saleh’s love for the game, causing him to preach about attention to the finer details of football.
The Jets defensive tackle referred to his presentation at the Tony Awards as “one of the coolest experiences in the world.” He also took a moment to further troll the Bills’ Dion Dawkins for calling the Jets showboaters while shirtless.
It’s almost the time of the year when football takes precedence over pop culture. For a few more days, though, the memes will remain king.
