Should general manager Darren Mougey facilitate a reunion between Jamal Adams and the New York Jets?
If you ask former Jets safety Victor Green, absolutely.
In a post on X, replying to a video posted by Adams of him working out, Green wrote, “Let’s go @nyjets. He’s ready to compete. Looking good.”
Selected sixth overall by the Jets in 2017, Adams wasted little time establishing himself as a cornerstone of the Jets’ defense. A vocal leader and dynamic playmaker, Adams earned two Pro Bowl selections and a first-team All-Pro nod by the end of his third season, cementing his place among the league’s top safeties.
However, by 2020, tensions between Adams and the Jets’ front office had reached a breaking point. Contract disputes and public drama ultimately led to a trade request, one that the Jets honored by sending him to Seattle in exchange for a haul that included two first-round picks. Those selections would later turn into wide receiver Garrett Wilson and offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker.
Adams signed a four-year, $70 million deal with the Seahawks, briefly becoming the highest-paid safety in NFL history. Yet, injuries derailed his stint in Seattle, and he was released this past March.
After a short stop with the Titans, the self-proclaimed “Prez” finished the season with the Detroit Lions and remains a free agent with training camp kicking off next week, a far cry from his All-Pro days in green and white.
Green may be all in on an Adams reunion, but whether the Jets feel the same remains an open question as training camp nears.
