Mike Francesa blasted Jamal Adams on Monday, saying the All-Pro safety who has publicly asked for a trade, isn’t a “great player” who makes “life miserable” for the Jets.
The WFAN host thinks the team should either have Adams — who has been frustrated by a lack of extension talks — play out his rookie contract or see if they can get a big haul in a trade.
“If I’m the Jets, I don’t give him a dime,’’ Francesa said. “They were 16-32 with him. You can go 16-32 without him.”
Adams has repeatedly stated his desire to leave the Jets, writing last Wednesday on Instagram, “Maybe it’s time to move on” and then on Monday responding to a post from current teammate Marcus Maye with “I’m [gonna] miss balling with [you] the most.”
He also told a fan he was “trying to” get to Dallas.
But for that to happen, the Jets would have to give up two team-friendly years with $13.45 million remaining until 2021, so they would need to get a massive return.
“I’m telling you right now, if somebody is dumb enough to give you a big deal for him, trade him,’’ Francesa said. “Because he’s just gonna make life miserable every day. It’s all he’s done is make life miserable. He’s gonna continue to make life miserable. He’s never gonna be happy.”
Francesa pointed to the fact that Adams is already outspoken about playing for the Cowboys as a problem.
“You got a guy basically talking about other teams while he’s still a member of the Jets,’’ Francesa said. “Why do you want that nonsense? That’s not the guy you want. You want a guy who’s good. He’s got talent. I’m not saying [he doesn’t]. He’s not a grt player because great players make teams better and he’s never made the Jets better… He’s got a chance to be a really good player, but you know what? What he’s shown is that he wants to separate himself from a losing team. ‘I’m good, the rest of the team’s bad. So listen, I don’t want anything to do with them.’ And he’s already talking about being on other teams. You want a guy who’s already talking about being on other teams? He wants to play on the Dallas Cowboys so bad, get the Dallas Cowboys to pony up for you. Put a good deal on the table. I’d grab it so fast your head would spin.”
