Jamal Adams Denies Requesting Trade From Jets, Says GM Went Behind His Back

The 2019 NFL trade deadline passed on Tuesday afternoon, and after a crazy ride, Jamal Adams remains a New York Jet.

The Pro Bowl safety was the center of trade talks all afternoon as the Dallas Cowboys were in pursuit of him.

Ultimately, nothing came of it.

The Pro Bowl safety took to Twitter to deny any reports that he had requested a trade from the Jets:

At the end of the week last week, I sat down with the GM and Coach Gase and told them I want to be here in New York. I was told yesterday by my agent that the GM then went behind my back and shopped me around to teams, even after I asked him to keep me here! Crazy business.

General Manager Joe Douglas met with reporters following the 4pm deadline and gave his side of the story, saying the Jets received calls about Adams but weren’t “shopping” him:

Joe Douglas says franchise quarterbacks are "untouchable players." Do the Jets have one?
