The Seattle Seahawks have traded for Jamaal Adams

[Jikkle]

Could be a steep price, but Seahawks could use the tag on him after the 2 seasons if he’s gonna be ridiculous about it... Not sure what the numbers would be with the tag at that point, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves anyway ...

I doubt him resigning is going to be an issue because if you look at Eddie Jackson's contract the Seahawks have to know it's going to be around 15 million a year average to resign him.

He can ask for 20 million all he wants but no team is going to pay him that so I don't think the Hawks have anything to fear about that. All they have to do is make sure they are willing to pay slightly more than he would get as a FA.

 

[Jikkle]

all this arguing about jamal adams and best safety, where does everyone have him then?

He's Kam Chancellor with better coverage skills.

His value is a little higher on the Seahawks because when you look at the Rams and 9ers they are going to want to run the ball and run it a lot.

Really I think that's why he was coveted so much by the Hawks because they know how much they are going to see the run so they'll want a guy they can put in the box and help stuff it.

Also he's probably their second best pass rusher behind Bruce Irvin.

I didn't ignore it. I laughed at it.

Great young talent, but Seattle gave up way too much for a player that is going to cost huge money. Look at what Fitzpatrick was traded for, and he is arguably better? Seattle more than doubled that.

Put down the kool-aid.

I dIdN'T iGnOrE iT I lAuGhEd

stop lying you know its a good point shut your mouth and Fitzpatrick isn't better than Jamal Adams in any argument

 

[seattlefan75]

Jamal Adams is basically Troy Polamalu

Do any Seahawks fans feel he's a little too preoccupied with sacks? Cuz I know he wants to break the record for sacks in a season by a DB and likely for a career.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

if it’s the last piece probably so but the Cowboys are not that close IMHO.
I can see the points of some saying it was good for Seattle I just think it was 2 much 2 firsts and a 3rd plus you have to pay him next year
I would have gave 1st and 3rd no more which is what was offed last fall from what they say here in Dallas

You don't think Dallas is close? Boy I sure do.

 

[flyerhawk]

It's not that simple. It all depends on how much you pay, how good he actually performs given such pay day...and how the Seahawks actually utilize him.

Earning All-Pro accolades pretty answer all of those questions, other than salary.

Paying All-Pros top tier money is something that every team wants to do. It is the best use of salary cap.

As long as that is what Pete wants him to, I'm fine with it. You have to think that his pass rush skills are a big reason why the Hawks made the move.

 

[flyerhawk]

No joking, Seattle did waaaaayyyy better, they got a 4th in return.

Yeah it's the 4th rounder they got back that makes this different from the Walker trade.

This is why you are viewed as a clown when you talk about the Seahawks.

How bout you look at past trades that involved 24 year old All-Pros.

Are you trying to convince me or yourself Seattle didn't get screwed?

Are you saying it's common for teams to give up two firsts, a third, a starting player and not even get a long term deal done for 24 yo All Pros?

Go ahead and post them. It shouldn't take long. That list will be very very short.

The only fan base easier to clown on are the Eagles. Both of you are one hit wonders who were rarely heard of before your SB win. Then it was how you would both become dynasties. Is it any wonder I and half the rest of the football world clown on you?

 

[SteelersPride]

Saw this stat from Fitzpatrick....

In the 14 games he played for Pittsburgh, Fitzpatrick allowed just one touchdown in coverage to go with five interceptions and nine pass breakups. Quarterbacks posted a 46.3 passer rating and 52% completion rate targeting him

That’s sick ... real sick ...

yep! crazy

He's Kam Chancellor with better coverage skills.

good player comp, yeah i agree.

Minkah is a good player, but they had the perfect opportunity to tank and get Big Bens replacement. Having Tua or Burrow sitting behind Ben would look pretty nice moving forward.

not disputing that, but they werent gonna be picking #1 even without minkah.....5-10 maybe i doubt 5, just me though

 

[flyerhawk]

Are you trying to convince me or yourself Seattle didn't get screwed?

Not in the least. Because I've been following football for more than 5 minutes so I know that judging a trade a few days after the trade is pretty dumb. If Adams maintains a All-Pro level of play and signs a long term deal then this is a no brainer trade for the Seahawks. If that doesn't happen then it was a failed trade.

Are you saying it's common for teams to give up two firsts, a third, a starting player and not even get a long term deal done for 24 yo All Pros?

The Seahawks have 2 years of control for Adams and didn't want to burn the cap right now. So the lack of a long term deal means very little to me.

Go ahead and post them. It shouldn't take long. That list will be very very short.

Yeah it's a short list. Because it almost never happens. Teams don't trade All-Pro players under the age of 25. Ever.

Most people don't obsess about the Seahawks. You do. It's pretty weird but to each their own I guess.

With your comments I sometimes have a difficult time believing you've followed football for more than 2 minutes.

Those are a lot of ifs. Kind of seems by your remarks you're already judging. You've just chosen to stand on the fence.

It should. He's already forced one team to dump him because of his contract talks or lack there off. All those picks, a proven starter for what could be a one or two year rental?


Yeah it's a short list. Because it almost never happens. Teams don't trade All-Pro players under the age of 25. Ever.
Thanks for making my point. Kind of makes you scratch your head doesn't it?

Not obsessed at all. Actually haven't been talking about them in a while. Could have to do with their lack of a dynasty. Many a 12s have gone back into hiding.

Everyone saying its a bad trade for the seahawks has ignored the argument that the 2021 draft is going to be garbage. The college football season is about to be canceled any day now so how will teams evaluate prospects? They will be drafting college players that haven't played football in like 18 months, the only tape they can study is some scrimmage tape on camera schools will send them mixed with a month long NFL combine.

I would rather sell my picks for the 2021 draft maybe the 2022 draft may sting but in return to get the best safety in the entire NFL is a great return this man at age 22 and 23 was an ALL PRO selection. Barring injury he is probably a for sure hall of fame DB.

This the main reason I am ok making this moving. The draft is going to be super dicey and more of a crapshoot then ever this year. And we are talking about a first round pick that is at least in the low 20s likely

Sure. I couldn't care less about your trash talking.

Congrats on not obsessing about the Seahawks when there was literally no football talk and a national pandemic going on. Otherwise you are more than willing to obsess.

[SeattleCoug]

Sure...it's easy to say that Seattle has every intention of signing him long term.......what if Adams wants to destroy the SS market? $17M per? $20M? Jamal has the Seahawks by the balls, much like Jalen Ramsey has the Rams pinned down, and Adams knows it.

As long as Pete is still there it will be a priority. That's not saying its a lock but I have faith it happens. The secondary is his baby. Sherm, Thomas and Kam all got second contracts and since they have been gone its no secret that Pete cant stand what he has seen on the backend. That's why moves were made for Diggs, Dunbar(not sure he ends up playing tho) and now Adams. I like Seattles chance to sign a top secondary player when he's in the building but yes I realize nothing is guaranteed and its a risk

I can see it, if Adams joined the Seahawks as a Free Agent, or was drafted by the team and they did another contract for their own player.

I can see it when you trade for, and include a contract for.....say Khalil Mack.....an All Pro at a position that probably tilts games more than any except QB. A similar trade (two 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder) for Adams, without a new contract, at a position that is regarded in a far less manner like running backs and interior OL? Plus the Seahawks gave up on Bradley McDougald. He's not Adams, I get that, but he is an above average player, and relatively cheap.

Sure, sure, but I don't think you want it to be his focus. Then again, playing for the Hawks is a little different than playing for the Jets. Wasn't a whole lot to look forward to last year for Adams far as postseason so maybe going for the record was motivation of sorts. With the Seahawks he should have that opportunity. He's an intriguing player no question and I heard Carroll talking about him and where they've been drafting at in the 1st rd of late. They didn't have a chance to acquire a player of skills. Carroll sounded hype for sure.

Dude you just queried every post of mine from circa 2015.

It's fairly hard to try and replicate what the Seahawks had in the secondary 5+ years ago.....it's pretty much impossible with a pop-gun pass rush. Maybe Carroll has something up his sleeve in his usage for Adams...I dunno.
