Jamal Adams signs with the Seahawks (4 years, 70 mil, 38m guaranteed)

That's a shame. I was rooting for this to become a gigantic clusterfuck for the Seahawks.

 

FUCK that!!

I want no part of that deal. No way we build a winning franchise paying a freakin' safety $70 million

 

Wow 17.5 million average per year. That is crazy.

 

Could still be... guys like Jamal Adams are never happy.

No amount of grease will silence his squeak.

 

Adams agrees to a 4 year extension. $17.5 million per year

of course thats a lot of money for a safety. But I honestly expected it to be worse, so somehow I feel Seattle's FO won the negotiation but Idk

 

No way you build a franchise by passing on a QB in favor for an in the box safety at the top of the draft either.

 

They had to justify the trade. Better them and not us. Good luck Seattle.

 

As bad as it is to pay a safety that sort of contract, it's not as egregious as I thought it was going to be ($100m). Isn't that the same contract we gave Revis over four years with more guaranteed money? Better, more impactful player but still.

 

Bro, we had Hackenberg.

 

Well, IMO that contract is a giant clusterfuck for the Seahawks. They will soon regret tying up that much money on a safety while also having an unhappy QB who is making big bucks.

 

Seattle dodged a bullet, this assuming the contract is not structured in a way that Adams can make more trouble for them down the road.

If the cap really rises a lot over the next few seasons my guess is he will make trouble. Covid-19 is going to be the controller on that one I think.

 

Don't want either of them, but I would take the safety over the CB if they were both similar talents.

Why?

Because the safety on average is going to be closer to the ball on most plays than the CB. Also, the really good teams have figured out how to win without a topflight CB but they all have topflight safeties.

 

Surprised this hadn't been posted yet. Even happier with the trade now, $17.5M a year is better spent elsewhere.

Edit: I could swear this thread was not in the NFL section when I posted this in the other Jamal thread

 

A lockdown corner has a bigger impact on the game than a hard hitting safety does. Especially with the laundry that flies if the pillow fight gets too rough.

Adams is a good player. His ego is harmful to a team atmosphere especially when money gets involved, but I doubt he will ever have as much impact on a team as Revis did even starting in 08 through 2011.

If he picked off a bunch of balls it'd be different. But he doesn't.

 

You negated your theory in the first sentence.

 

Just starting to look at it like this now.

Where would we have been last year with Adams? Potentially two more wins? Which is what? Still Adam gase gone with that.

Which leaves us with Adams, pick 5-9 and just say we still got Saleh, then playing in a system where the coach makes diamonds out of cheap hybrids.

We all have our opinions on the lad, but from a team perspective, we've come out ok from this.

I still think that talent-wise Saleh could have gotten this guy to be an utter beast at WLB, easy HOFer, but the trade was so lopsided it was a no-brainer to support. We're way better off without this headcase and also there's no guarantee they could have lured Saleh without the 2 pick and all that extra draft capital.

 

Don't worry, it could be an even worse clusterfuck now...

 

In Hackenberg, Maccagnan, and Gase, we literally had the worst ever QB, GM, and coach in the building within a couple years of one another.
