5 teams that should trade for Jets safety Jamal Adams
2. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys were the most prominent suitor for Adams at the 2019 trade deadline, but they reportedly didn’t quite meet New York’s asking price.
The #Cowboys engaged in talks with the #Jets on S Jamal Adams and NYJ was only willing to part with Adams for a 1st rounder and two 2nd rounders, per me and @SlaterNFL. That is a LOT and shows Adams’ value.

#Cowboys tried... per source they offered a 1st and a third-day pick. https://t.co/cS6w1dLu08

For what it’s worth, a #Cowboys source has told me that Dallas inquired about Jamal Adams. The #Jets did not open the conversation. They picked up the phone.

Dallas did move to address their need at safety, signing Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in free agency. But Adams still fits in as an obvious upgrade to their safety mix, and the Jets’ premium asking price of a first and two seconds seems sure to drop now. If they are going to entertain trade offers, of course.
Adams-to-Dallas speculation is going to really ramp up again now. A deal might wind up waiting until the first round of the draft next Thursday night, but Jerry Jones has a good chance to get his man and bring the Texas native back home.
