Seattle Seahawks and All-Pro safety Jamal Adams agreed to a four-year extension that can be worth up to $72 million. The deal, made official by the team on Tuesday, makes Adams the highest-paid player in his position with a $17.5 million annual salary.

The extension comes with a $38 million guarantee and a $20 million signing bonus. Adams is now under contract with the Seahawks through 2025.

The two sides were reportedly engaged in contract discussions for the better part of the offseason. Adams decided to report for training camp, deciding not to take the “holdout” route as the talks dragged out, but did not participate in the practices and team activities. Still, both parties were motivated to get the deal done and managed to do so before the season started.

“We officially signed. I’m excited to be here. It’s going to be a wonderful journey, man,” said Adams about the extension before adding that his next goal is to win a championship in Seattle.

Seahawks acquired Jamal Adams during the 2020 offseason, sending a trade package headlined by two first-round picks to the New York Jets. The deal immediately paid off for Seattle, as Adams had a monster season that saw him getting 9.5 sacks and breaking the NFL record for most sacks by a defensive back. He also had 59 tackles, three pass deflections, and one forced fumble en route to his third straight Pro Bowl nod and  Second-team All-Pro selection.

New York Jets’ star safety Jamal Adams continues to do his best to alienate himself from the organization in an attempt to force a trade. This time, he decided to take a jab at his head coach Adam Gase.

In a recent interview with New York Daily News, Adams criticized Gase and said that he isn’t the right leader for the Jets organization.

“I don’t feel like he’s the right leader for this organization to reach the Promised Land,” said Adams. “As a leader, what really bothers me is that he doesn’t have a relationship with everybody in the building.”

Adams didn’t miss the opportunity to voice his displeasure with general manager Joe Douglas as well, blasting him for the way he handled the recent contract negotiations.  

“It was very insulting,” Adams added.

Jamal Adams officially asked the New York Jets to trade him back in June after the organization didn’t give him a contract extension he wants. However, Jets have been taking the slow and steady approach with the matter, as they have him under contract for three more years with the franchise tag included.

Reportedly, Jets are willing to consider offers for the All-Pro but expect a big return that would include at least two first-round picks and several more assets. The list of interested teams includes Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, and Dallas Cowboys. 

Adams finished the 2019 season with 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, seven pass deflections, one interception, and one touchdown. He earned his second Pro Bowl selection and was selected First-Team All-Pro for the first time in his career.

Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are taking their division rivalry off the field and into the front offices. According to Sports Illustrated’s Corbin Smith, both the Seahawks and the 49ers are interested in acquiring New York Jets’ All-Pro safety Jamal Adams.

Adams recently made a trade request after the team failed to give him a contract extension he asked for. Jets reportedly are not interested in trading the 24-year-old safety despite this, but that didn’t stop them from having preliminary talks with Seahawks and 49ers.

Adams previously revealed a list of teams he would be willing to go to without an immediate extension, and Seattle and San Francisco are both there. However, they would need to give up a massive package in order to get him.

Jets have Jamal Adams under contract for two more years, and can also franchise tag him in 2022. This is why the organization isn’t in a hurry to move him anytime soon unless they get an offer they can’t say no to. This would most likely have to include at least one or two first-round picks, a combination of later round picks and possibly a player that could start right away.

Since entering the NFL in 2017, Adams earned two Pro Bowl nods and has one First-Team All-Pro selection from 2019. He has 46 starts during which he racked up 273 tackles, 12.0 sacks, 25 passes defended, two interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns.

It appears that the already strained relationship between New York Jets and safety Jamal Adams got a lot worse. According to multiple reports around the league, Adams has requested a trade from the Jets on Friday.

Adams has reportedly grown frustrated by the Jets’ unwillingness to give him the extension he wants and decided he wants out. The two sides have been negotiating for a while now but failed to make significant progress.

Adams previously hinted at his dissatisfaction via social media. He first accused the team of having “a lot of talk, no action,” and then wrote that “maybe it’s time to move on” while responding to an Instagram post.  

Jamal Adams, who emerged as one of the best safeties in the league in recent years, was already close to leaving New York Jets after clashing with the team’s front office last year. Reportedly, Jets fielded calls on Adams and were close to dealing him to Dallas Cowboys before pulling out of the deal at the last moment.

After another impressive season in 2019, which included Pro Bowl appearance and First-Team All-Pro honors, Adams decided to demand a new deal from the Jets despite having two years left on his rookie contract. The 24-year-old is reportedly looking to become the highest-paid safety in the league and top Chicago Bears’ Eddie Jackson, who earns $14.6 million per year.

Some sources add that Adams asked to become the Jets’ highest-paid player overall, which would mean eclipsing linebacker C.J. Mosley’s annual salary of $17 million.

Jets, on the other hand, are reluctant to cave in and give Adams what he wants. They still have him under control for two years for combined $13.4 million and can also franchise him for a reasonable amount in 2022.

If Adams and Jets end up parting ways, it is expected that Cowboys get right back into the mix. Other teams that might be interested in LSU’s product include Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.

While New York Jets stated multiple times that they don’t intend to trade Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams, rumors about the subject still continue to surface. But Jets’ fans shouldn’t be worried about losing one of their best players according to Adams’ teammate linebacker C.J. Mosley.

In a recent chat with ESPN, Mosley said that he doesn’t believe Jets’ will trade Adams since that would be a “crazy move.”

“To me, I wasn’t too worried about that,” said Mosley. “That would be a crazy move.”

According to Mosley, Adams is one of Jets’ leaders and a galvanizing presence that makes everyone on the team play better.

“To have that presence in the secondary, a guy that can make plays in the passing game and also plays in the backfield — in the box — that’s always exciting,” he added.

Since Jets drafted him sixth overall in 2017, Jamal Adams established himself as one of the best safeties in the league. He received Pro Bowl in the last two seasons while also earning First-team All-Pro honors in 2019. Despite this, however, Adams has been on the trading block for the past year.

Reportedly, Adams was close to joining Dallas Cowboys last year, but the move fell through in the last moment. Jets also had trade talks with other teams about the 24-year-old, but those didn’t get much traction due to the team’s high asking price.

In case the Jets don’t trade Adams this offseason, they will most likely have to pay him. According to reports, the player will skip the team’s voluntary programs and wants to get an extension before the start of the new season that would make him the highest-paid safety in the league.
