How many millions of dollars did Jamal Adams cost himself by shooting his way out of town?

Would you like to bet that he'll be highest paid safety ever?

The Seahawks played themselves so he might get paid, but it's a great example of why trading two first round picks for a safety is insane. As well as the thinking that if your safety is the best player on the team, then you probably have a ton of other gaping holes. Hes not an edge rusher or lock down corner, we really got out at a great time

He’s a better salesman than you are.

You might be right about one thing -- Jets so terrible, maybe he doesn't get exposed here and teams assume it's just because his surrounding cast sucks. So in his case, you well might be right it depressed his 2nd contract value. Good point. Nevertheless, in most other cases, escaping this team probably a good move.

That's true although Teddy's point above is valid.

You think Enunwa was getting $20MM guaranteed elsewhere?

[32EBoozer]

Seeing Adams give a motivational speech to the D on the sidelines made me laugh. Trying to be the team 1st guy now that he has been shown to be a me 1st player. Kissing ass ‘cause he knows Hawks got played by JD. Once he gets his deal he’ll be back to sulking and calling out players and staff.

Don't see the relevance, but of course not.

I’m pretty sure Josh Allen has a perfect QB rating against Jamal Adams defenses.

@T0mShane could be in a dead drunk coma and awoken by Jamal Adams discussion on JetNation.

Not if he keeps playing like he is he won’t.

Karma is a bitch. 
 

Pete will get the Defense fixed though.

[jeremy2020]

Seattle has a rough decision. They gave up too much to not pay him, but giving him a contract like he wants is the type of thing that gets people fired. 

I wandered over to some Seahawk forums and they're apoplectic about the Adams trade. Starting to talk about firing Schneider (for Adams and other things). Would be poetry if trading for Adams is the catalyst for their GM to lose his job. 

2 1st round picks. I have a lot of quibbles with what JD has done, but amazing that he was able to get that for Adams when he was shooting his mouth off.

 

Also: for anyone who didn't catch the game. Seattle gave up Adams being able to cover and basically played him at linebacker. 

[Larz]

Over his career he’ll only be absurdly wealthy, not vastly wealthy 

J!

As long as you'd be willing to control for a bloated back end of a contract that he'll never see, I feel pretty comfortable after this year.

44 points today.

Do we have the data yet to say the Seahawks are unequivocally worse off with him on the field, than off?

As I said the day the trade was made, Ken norton lost his job the day Jamal got traded there.

[fusionCA]

The team that actually made a mistake trading a DB is Miami 

They only got one 1st round pick for Fitzpatrick 

He is much better then adams 

[pdxgreen]

No.  I'm not going to discuss that self absorbed douche.

[UntouchableCrew]

The footage of him screaming at Pete Carroll (a SB winning coach widely praised as a whiz in the secondary) was cathartic.

[BigRy56]

It is what it is for them - they gotta pay him or else they look like clowns. We made out like bandits and everybody knows we did

Most ever given up by a Pete Carrol defense in the NFL (2nd most including college).

This was the greatest trade in Jets franchise history

That's what many don't understand -- we don't need Jamal to fail for this to be a good deal for Jets. It was a good deal even if Jamal becomes to best S in NFL history. But Jets fans gonna Jets fan...

I'm not sure I follow. Since he was drafted people say you don't use that amount of draft capital on a safety regardless of how good he is..

So I'm not sure your statement is really accurate.

You just agreed with me. I think you need to put more oil in your engine.

I’m so happy this guy is not on our team.

They'll end up looking like clowns either way.  

Meanwhile Douglas could draft three Kyle Wilson's with those picks and still have won the deal.

Even if Adams becomes Ed Reed, Jets won the deal. The hand wringing is funny, though.

There is no evidence to suggest that Adams would have been scooped up in the top 10 had we not taken him at 6.
