New York Jets safety Jamal Adams

An absolute blockbuster to end all blockbusters with NFL training camps approaching. The Seattle Seahawks have added one of the top defensive players in the game in a trade with the New York Jets.

Jets trade All-Pro safety Jamal Adams to the Seahawks

There’s a whole heck of a lot to unpack here. Let’s break it down.

  • A two-time Pro Bowl performer, Adams has morphed into one of the top safeties in the NFL since New York made him the No. 6 overall pick back in 2017.
  • The LSU product has been aiming for an extension that would make him the highest-paid safety in the NFL. It’s unknown whether Seattle will extend him ahead of the season.
  • In return, New York gets a whole plethora of draft capital. Two first-round picks, one in each of the next two years. They also add a third-round pick and a plug-and-play safety in that of veteran Bradley McDougald.

This seems to be a great deal for both sides. For Seattle, it’s now closer to competing with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West. New York aims for building for the future.
