Less than 24 hours after completing a trade for receiver Stefon Diggs Monarchs owner and GM Ronald Crump was at it again, dealing a pair of draft picks and safety Jason Irving to the Jets for Jamal Adams.
Adams famously called out Jets head coach Adam Gase and requested to be traded.
"Some very fine people on both sides." Crump said when asked about adding possible volatility in Diggs and Adams to a locker room. "Nobody knows more about managing a locker room and locker room talk than me." Crump added.
The Monarchs sent a lot back to the Jets, Irving, a 2023 1st rounder and a 2022 2nd, so they're hopeful on a big return.
Irving, a promising player, was openly angry about the trade.
"Just glad to play them twice a year, gonna make Crump look like a fool."
The addition of Adams makes it so Minkah Fitzpatrick can transition to more of a free safety role, where he fits better.
These two big trades would lead one to believe that Crump feels like he has a team that can compete now, trying to maximize talent around veteran QB Philip Rivers, who may only have a year or two left in him.
