NEW YORK _ The contract impasse between Jamal Adams and the Jets may be at a full boil these days. It's led the All-Pro safety, under contract through the 2021 season, to seek a trade. The club, however, isn't inclined to give up a star player who, in 14 games last season, finished among the team's three best in tackles, sacks, tackles for a loss, passes defended and forced fumbles.
"I think the world of him," defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said Thursday on a conference call. "I've had a chance to coach a lot of really good players, some already in the Hall of Fame, many others who are going to go in the Hall of Fame. He's going to have a legitimate chance, staying healthy, to be one of those guys that we're all talking about."
Williams wasn't about to throw in his opinion about the stalemate, simultaneously expressing full faith in the Jets' front office and saying of Adams, "I've got his back."
