How do you know this? His main problem was with Gase and Gase is likely on his last leg and may not even make it through the season. Adams still has two years left on his contract and once Gase is gone could/may decide all is good. Especially if the Jets were willing to work with him and his contract. I think saying he was gone no matter what is hyperbole.
It sounds like it was about the money and the Jets weren't willing to meet his demands, so it looks like a divorce was imminent. The Jets did great to get back as much as they did. I guess it's possible the relationship could've been saved, but it didn't look likely and the last thing you want your team to do in that situation is be like the Redskins in how they handled the Trent Williams situation.
Either the relationship was irretrievably broken because Adams hated them or the Jets were never going to give Adams the money, so they had to get what they could get in the trade market, OR the Seahawks blew them away with their offer and they decided to ditch Adams because of it. Either way, the Jets did great.
