Could Trent Williams be campaigning for New York Jets safety Jamal Adams to join the San Francisco 49ers? The offensive tackle posted the following photo on Instagram of himself signing his restructured contract with the 49ers ... and tagged Adams (h/t to Patrick Tulini).
It's important to note that Williams isn't signing a contract extension. The 49ers restructured the final year of his deal to give the offensive lineman, who did not play last year, some more upfront money.
"He's due to make $12.5 million," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said in May. "He's still going to make about that sum, but the 49ers put some of this money upfront. A little help for a guy, remember, (who) didn't make anything in 2019."
As for Adams, he is seeking to leave the Jets. He named the 49ers among the teams to which he would welcome a trade. The Pro Bowl and All-Pro defender wants to be the highest-paid safety but has two years remaining on his rookie deal after the Jets executed his fifth-year option.
"I think it's mostly about money," Jets reporter Rich Cimini of ESPN said this week, "but I think the losing here in New York has worn on him. He's 16-and-32 since coming to the Jets, and I think that has really taken a toll on his psyche. There were times after games last year where he just looked distraught and said, 'I'm tired of this losing.'"
