"Do y'all just speak without understanding what y'all are typing? Or nah?" Adams wrote in his response to the comment. "Ohhh I see what this is. I deserve to be paid but when I ask to be taking care of I'm 'Being that guy' huh? What does Pat have to do with me? Pat is about to get 40 to 60 M's a year. Well deserved. That's my guy. But don't compare me to QB's if you aren't paying me QB money."

Adams closed by saying that he plans to protect himself "just like an organization will look out for themselves at the end of the day. & if you guys don’t respect that, cool. It’s all luv. Maybe it’s time to move on!”

The comment that Adams was responding to was in regards to his contract and how the commenter believed he shouldn't complain about his current situation. 

This is not the first time that Adams has been vocal about the situation regarding his contract with the Jets. In October, denied ever asking for a trade, reaffirming that he wanted to remain a Jet.

"Any reports of me asking to be traded from the New York Jets are completely false," he tweeted."At the end of the week last week, I sat down with the GM and Coach Gase and told them I want to be here in New York. I was told yesterday by my agent that the GM then went behind my back and shopped me around to teams, even after I asked him to keep me here! Crazy business."

Any reports of me asking to be traded from the New York Jets are completely false.
