The New York Jets have cleaned house with the toxicity that engulfed the locker room last season. Much of that had to do with their controversial quarterback Aaron Rodgers who remains a free agent midway through May.
But there were other factors that contributed distractions to the Jets' turmoil. Their trade for Davante Adams hardly helped a woeful offense and the firing of head coach Robert Saleh during the season did not help matters either.
Overall, it's a system refresh in New York. Not one that guarantees immediate success, but gives them a healthier vision to build toward those ultimate goals.
However, another former toxic ex wants to get back into the picture. Former Jets saftefy Jamal Adams revealed on The Jets Lounge that he wants to be back with the team that drafted him to finish his career.
"I would love to be back with the Jets and, obviously, finish it the right way," Adams said. "Man, that would be a dream come true, just to patch up that relationship and kind of make it right."
Adams and former head coach Adam Gase had a nasty relationship that festered until the 2017 first-round pick requested a trade. That move was a major decision at the time with Adams' star on the rise.
Ultimately, Adams wilted in his time with the Seahawks, never truly able to carry forward the torch from the famous "Legion of Boom" secondaries that proceeded him.
But Adams isn't looking to be a primary contributor. Instead, he believes he passes enough of the physical questions to earn a spot as more of a veteran mentor while being able play in spots.
"[I would] just come in as a seasoned vet, give game to the young cats and help in any way, shape or form I can," he said. "I know I can still play football. I'm healthy and I know I can impact the game in a lot of ways. I just need that fair opportunity to come in and show what I can do."
With already some experience at the position and having drafted some help as well, Adams may not be much in demand for Gang Green. But a return even in a limited role would certainly provide him some closure.
