JustInFudge Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I'm kind of confused at how this is a good thing and FU to the safety haters. All this means, is that in a few years, Jamal Adams is going to be looking to be the highest paid safety in the league. FYI - that's not a good thing for the Jets.

Well I think the question of drafting Adams that high was the value. And based on these signings, the value of safeties has gone up considerably. But executive of the year?

Jetsfan80 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Earl Thomas has 28 INT, 11 FF, and 67 PD's in his career. That's why he's worth that kind of coin. Defend the pass well and force some turnovers. That's what a safety needs to do to get paid. Thomas has had 3 seasons in this league where he got 5 INT. Last year he had 3 in 4 games. Wake me up when Adams gets more than 1 in a season. As for Collins: The Redskins are stupid. No one should be using that signing as an argument to pay Jamal Adams.

Macc for executive of the year! Redskins and a post-Ozzie Newsome Ravens. We'll see how it works out. My issue was always where he was drafted and over what other priorities. His play has been good, as I've said many times. Most vital thing this says to me is we're going to have to pay alot for Adams if we want to retain him. Of course, I wouldn't get ahead of myself on that, our elite uber awesome D draft picks often show themselves to not be great by the time they hit the end of their rookie deals. We'll see where we are in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question is who else is up for renewal/extension at the same time as Adams. We need to stagger these guys to a degree. I think that’s why we’re seeing some big contracts being executed now in FA that will expire just as Sam Darnold will need to be paid on a long term deal. The only potential complicating factor for Adams could be Maye, depending on if Marcus is healthy and playing well. It will be a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless if we have two safeties to extend at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Logic-because 2 teams overpaid ridiculously for roster filler safeties based on foolish reps for a position that has marginal impact, therefore, the Jets should overpay the living sh1t out of Adams' next contract, despite the street being filled with safeties. One of those teams is the decades-long dumpster fire known as the Deadskins. Adams is very good at his position, but his position isn't very important. Because other teams are dumb doesn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losmeister Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Adams is a good player, but doenst get us the ball back enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 There are still a boat load of competent safeties out there and since the high priced guys are gone teams will be getting good safeties on the relative cheap. The fact that these 'star' safeties are available shows that you don;t need to draft these guys high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I am happy to pay Adams that type of money if he has that type of impact. He could end up like a RB that you want to draft, because years 5+ they are shot. Like Bob Sanders. Where the Jets spend money on defense will need to shift. Right now we are spending on 2 DL, an ILB and a CB. All over $10mm. Nobody other than Brady makes over $10mm on the Patriots. The Jets needs to draft alternatives to Leo, and Trumaine, and find a fair priced EDGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Safeties operate like Linebackers who can cover. None of that is an argument for paying Jamal Adams like Landon Collins or Earl Thomas did. Numbers don't lie. More than ever, the game is all about creating turnovers. Create turnovers or GTFO. You're not reinventing defensive football if you aren't doing that. It's not this complex mystery with the end result being Jamal Adams being worth that kind of coin. Not yet, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless if we have two safeties to extend at the same time. We've got 2 really cheap years left for Adams, then we'll have his 5th year option, which will much more expensive (2018 5th year option for safeties drafted in the top 10 was a little over $9 million), but likely nothing near what he could get on the market, if he continues to play at a Pro-Bowl level. So with the option, his contract expires after the 2021 season. Here's the list of players currently under contract past the 2021 season: Sam (assuming we pick up his 5th year option for 2022) Tru Quincy That is it. (And yes, I know, some of the new guys will have contracts that extend into 2022....but they're not technically signed yet?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant wait Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 adams is going to have a lot more freedom to move around now that the jets have good LB’s- he was forced to play in the box because they were so bad at run stopping last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
