Jamal Adams was outspoken during his contract dispute with the New York Jets, but he didn't talk his way out of town, according to general manager Joe Douglas.

Douglas said the safety's outspokenness had no impact on the decision to trade him to the Seattle Seahawks.

"I want to make it clear: I never promised an offer to Jamal or his agent, nor was I ever dishonest with any communications with their camp," Douglas said.

The Jets sent Adams to the Seahawks for a package that includes 2021 and 2022 first-round picks and veteran safety Bradley McDougald.

Adams, 24, has two years remaining on his contract for a total of $13.5 million. He will play this season under his existing contract.
