Jamal Adams is staying with the Jets, but not for a lack of interest. Before the deadline, the Ravens tried to swing a trade for the Pro Bowl safety, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.

Ultimately, the two sides couldn’t come to terms. It was a similar story for the Cowboys, who also engaged in an aggressive pursuit of Adams before the bell rang.
Speaking of the Cowboys: They were willing to part with a first-round pick as part of a Minkah Fitzpatrick-type package, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News (on Twitter) hears. The Steelers acquired Fitzpatrick for a first-round pick and also agreed to exchange third-day draft choices. That’s what the Cowboys were looking to do, but they were not willing to venture into Jalen Ramsey territory, which means coughing up two first-round picks, plus a fourth-rounder.
The 1-6 Jets worked the phone lines in recent days with hopes of parlaying their best talent into future draft capital. Even after dealing defensive lineman Leonard Williams to the Giants, they were nowhere near satisfied: quarterback Sam Darnold and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams represented their only untouchable players, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY (on Twitter) hears.
The Jets will move forward with Adams, running back Le’Veon Bell, wide receiver Robby Anderson, and the other notable names they had at the start of business on Tuesday. Ultimately, Jets GM Joe Douglas wasn’t able to completely dismantle the team he inherited, but that ultimately might be for the best.
LOVE IT. JETS SUCK AMD ALWAYS WILL. just Enjoy The Season.
So the Jets will still probably lose 12-15 games this year.
Whats the point of drafting an elite player just to ship him out for a draft pick? Gotta build around the kid
Because Safety is one of the least valuable positions on the field. A team like Dallas that has good talent is willing to part with a 1st rounder because they are close to being a contender and need a couple of finishing touches on the roster. The Jets however are nowhere close and a good safety right now means nothing (well actually it means a 1-6 record). You use the draft to get positions like OL, QB, Edge, CB, maybe WR and hope to hit on them while they are young and cheap and you use FA and trades to find the rest that are less costly.
Jets should have made the trade.
I’m not so sure about that. The Steelers traded their 1st Rounder for Minkah Fitzpatrick. That pick could possibly end up being in the Top 10 next year and the Steelers would still make that same trade 100 out of 100 times.
He’s completely turned that defense around and is signed for a few more years.
The CJ Mosley injury hurts the most, but considering the he upcoming six games the Jets could just as easily go to 7-6 as 1-12. As infinitesimally small as they are, the Jets’ playoff chances (0.4%) are still greater than the Giants’ (0.2%), which begs the question: Why would the Giants trade for Big Cat unless they’re certain he’s resigning.
