Adam Gase Says Jamal Adams, Jets 'Gotta Figure out a Way to Get to a Good Place'

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase is hopeful the organization can find common ground with star safety Jamal Adams. 

Gase told reporters on Friday that Adams is "working through things with the organization" and they "gotta figure out a way to get to a good place."

Gase also called his relationship with Adams "good."

The comments by Gase come in the aftermath of Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reporting the Jets coach "is a major factor" why Adams has requested a trade from the organization. 

During Friday's press conference, Gase said "yes" when asked if he wants Adams on the team in 2020. 

ESPN's Rich Cimini reported on June 18 that Adams informed the Jets he wanted to be traded because of ongoing frustrations with his contract negotiations. 

Cimini noted the Jets "have no intention" of trading Adams, who is under contract for two more seasons.

Mehta's report also noted that Jets players "don't respect" Gase and many people in the organization, including "players, coaches and front office members," have no trust or belief in him.

The Jets named Gase their head coach in January 2019. He was also given the title of interim general manager last year for three weeks between the time Mike Maccagnan was fired on May 15 and Joe Douglas was hired on June 6. 

Gase led New York to a 7-9 record last season. Adams was named to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year and tied for the team lead with seven pass breakups and ranked second with 6.5 sacks in 2019.
