Titans trading for New York Jets star Jamal Adams helps all involved

What does it cost both parties and do both teams improve?

Ideally, the New York Jets would work with the Titans and the trade would look like this.

Jets send:

• Jamal Adams

Titans send:

• 2021 1st round pick
• 2022 4th round pick

The quick fix for the Jets without losing Jamal Adams is to just pay him what he’s worth. I mean that’s all he wants, right?

It seems like they would rather have Jamal Adams superstar level play on his rookie contract than to pay him what he’s worth and keep him happy in the long run.

So, in this scenario, the Jets get worse in the short term. They lose Jamal Adams, but in the long term, they receive draft picks in two consecutive drafts to begin building their roster up. They could even negotiate so that under certain conditions the 4th rounder could potentially move up to a 3rd before 2022.

Of course, the Titans get Jamal Adams which adds an All-Pro to their team and immediately puts them in talks for the most dominant defense in the league.

Earlier in the week, Will Lomas made a post about trading Nate Davis to the Philadelphia Eagles and the main complaint was that this team wants to get younger and cheaper. Unfortunately, it is hard to get better while getting younger and it is almost impossible to get better while getting cheaper.

At the very least this makes the team younger on defense and it gives them another All-Pro DB to help contend with the likes of Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and the rest of the AFC’s top teams. You could make a strong argument that this would be a bigger impact than signing Jadeveon Clowney.
