San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch denied that the team expressed interest in Jamal Adams’ safety before switching Saturday from the New York Jets to the Seattle Seahawks.
“The inaccurate best friend,” Lynch told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area on Monday. “We never call it a player.”
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that “the parties involved believed” that the Niners and Dallas Cowboys were the other group station that discussed Adams with the Jets.
New York announced Saturday that he has acquired Bradley McDougald, the first draft circular selection 2021 and a 2022 circular first selection draft for Adams and a 2022 draft fourth circular selection.
The two-time Pro Bowl variety requested an individual attempt after discussions on an independent extension can also advance to the 2020 season.
Jets general manager Joe Douglas said Monday that the successful deal was made a really extensive offer from the Seahawks, not because Adams had asked to be moved.
“Look, it’s a business, and you don’t take things personally,” he told reporters. “… I can promise you that this has not affected us in our decision-making over the last week. For us, in fact, I don’t think it’s a precedent for a player to get far from the city… I’m not worried about this precedent.”
Adams, an All-Pro strain from the 201-year team, would have been nothing less than a slight improvement over Jaquiski Tartt’s defense for the Niners. However, according to the undervaluation of the h8 charge applicable with the former Jets highlight, Lynch allegedly decided not to worry about the negotiations.
Instead, Adams will sign up for divisional rivals Seahawks to add a competitive position in the NFC West that can also see the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals become contenders.
The first one-on-one assembly between San Francisco and Seattle in the 2020 season is scheduled for November 1 at Week 8.
