Report: Cowboys talking to Jets about star S Jamal Adams

The one-win New York Jets are clearly in sell off mode hours ahead of the NFL trade deadline. It was just earlier this week that New York dealt former top-10 pick Leonard Williams to the Giants.

Now comes this note from ESPN’s Rich Cimini indicating that the Jets could very well deal star young safety Jamal Adams.

The hot name right now is Jamal Adams. It wouldn’t shock me if he gets dealt. #Jets

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media followed up with a report indicating that the Dallas Cowboys have had discussions with New York about the third-year safety. Compensation heading back to the Jets would be massive.

Knowing the #Jets are open to dealing several of their big-name players, the #Cowboys have touched base with them on a possible deal for #Jets S Jamal Adams, sources say. He’s indicated he’s open to a move. Compensation would be massive.

Dallas has long been looking for an upgrade a safey. Adams, 24, would certainly provide that.

The No. 6 overall pick back in 2017, Adams earned a Pro Bowl appearance as a sophomore last season. He’s already racked up five passes defended and a pick this season.
