| The News first reported last month that Adams had requested permission to seek a trade before citing that Gase was one factor why the two-time Pro Bowler felt uncomfortable with his long-term future with the team. “I don’t feel like he’s the right leader for this organization to reach the Promised Land,” Adams said. “As a leader, what really bothers me is that he doesn’t have a relationship with everybody in the building. “At the end of the day, he doesn’t address the team,” Adams added. “If there’s a problem in the locker room, he lets another coach address the team. If we’re playing sh---y and we’re losing, he doesn’t address the entire team as a group at halftime. He’ll walk out of the locker room and let another coach handle it.” |

All jokes aside what was the consensus on what was actually going on at this press conference?
Maybe slightly reminiscent but Not even close to what Shockey did. Shockey didn’t completely trash coughlin and Reese like this.
The poster fanofthejets. He will probably arrive soon to tell us how this is no big deal and that the Jets will be winners in this situation.
There are a few teams in the league he'd make a SB favorite.
What he did last year with the Jets was insane for a safety. 6.5 sacks and all that great coverage too???
There was a stat that said the Jets TFL rate with him in the box was league best.

From way back when...
Shockey was already facing a possible fine of $8,638 per day for not participating in a mandatory minicamp. Now he could be facing additional fines or a suspension for his blowup with Reese.
The Giants declined to comment on the incident, and neither Reese nor Shockey's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, answered e-mails or calls. Before the first report of the "huge shouting match" leaked out, Rosenhaus - who also represents Plaxico Burress - was at Giants Stadium and said he's been working to resolve the Shockey situation.
I hope the Jets hold their ground with this guy. He’s only played three years so they have own him for two more and then they can franchise him. If they let him force a trade they’re not going to get fair value of what he’s worth. I’m sick of this bs,
He voluntarily signed the contract under rules he knew beforehand. Now he is probably undermining his own value as an asset.
Jets actually do something right, and organization still can't catch a break. I would like JA to be permanently financially damaged, but have not a clue how to injure him without also injuring NYJ.

A safety isn't putting a contender over the top and carry them go to the Super Bowl. OBJ type of player because he plays an impact position. A safety? I'm not so sure.

There is no doubting his talent. The issue is his behavior. He has a massive ego that I personally wouldn't want in my locker room especially when you consider his contract demands.
I think you're right, Shecky. Adams is entering his 4th year and his rookie contract is eligible for renegotiation. He wants a contract that will pay him top dollar this year, before he suffers a career threatening injury. If the Jets are not amenable, maybe another team will be.
Agree... was just about to post the same thoughts. He is hurting his own value here. All he needed to do was express his thoughts to the GM And Gase in private.

Any team interested in trading for his services has to wonder what will happen if/when he is unhappy with the contract he signs with you. As a Giants fan, I'd rather see some other team back up the Brink's truck for that headache.

I think it's pretty clear he always wanted to be traded. Best way to do that is make unreasonable contract demands. Keeps your value higher on trade market. Apparently the jokers in the front office were unwilling to do that so now you have this and they are going to end up taking a fraction of what they could have got. Egos are a fragile thing.

For awhile, I thought he just wanted to be paid, but now perhaps he wants to be paid AND traded?

I'm not sure how you can really blame this on their front office.
Let's say the roles are reversed. By the trade deadline this year, Indy (random decent team in the other conference) calls asking about trading for Barkley. DG basically says thanks but no thanks and hangs up. It gets leaked that the Giants are entertaining trade talks for Barkley and then Barkley gets pissed because he feels he isn't respected if they're open to trading him.
Things calm down for the rest of the season and then during the offseason Barkley keeps saying he wants to be extended with multiple years left on his deal. Then, after not getting it, he says he wants to be traded and provides a list of teams he'd like to be traded to AND that he would be willing to go to those teams without needing an extension. Obviously DG doesn't give in so now Barkley goes to the Daily News and starts ripping DG & Judge to try to force the Giants' hand.
Would it be the jokers in the front office not giving in to Barkley or should Barkley shut up and play?
