Seattle Seahawks defensive star Jamal Adams is taking on his former team, the New York Jets, for the first time after a tumultuous three NFL seasons in the Big Apple.
Before the upcoming matchup, he made his thoughts clear in an interview with SportsNet New York.
“I pray one day they do figure it out and get the ball rolling because the fans deserve it over there,” said Adams. “They’re so passionate and they’re so loyal.”
After sending his thoughts and prayers to New York fans, Adams continued with pleasantries toward his former organization while expressing his gratitude for playing across the country in Seattle. “Things happened the way it happened. I had to do what I had to do to get out of my situation and I’m happy to be here,” said Adams. “I’m happy to be a part of an organization that values me and respects me for who I am on and off the field. But I have nothing but love for the Jets organization.”
The Jamal Adams divorce from the Jets was public and ugly. After being drafted sixth overall in 2017, Adams knew his tenure in New York was doomed from the start. “I knew it wasn’t right,” Adams said on Uninterrupted. “As bad as I wanted to stay, and as bad as I wanted to create my own legacy and try to build something, and try to bring a championship to New York, it was hard, man. I felt like a lot of the times the weight was on my shoulders.”
