The tension has been brewing for month, and things finally came to a head on Saturday afternoon.

The New York Jets have agreed to trade disgruntled star safety Jamal Adams and a 2022 fourth round-pick to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for safety Bradley McDougald, a first-round and third round pick in 2021, and 2022 first-round, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoprot reported Saturday. Rapoport added that the deal is pending physicals.

Brian Costello of The New York Post was the first to report the news.

Around the NFL will have more on this shortly.

Lol I guess the Seahawks are betting they will be picking late in the first round the next 2 seasons. Yeesh that was a steep price to pay.

At this point they should be all in the next 2 years. Go ahead and bring Clowney back.

Seems like a lot for adams

Deandre Hopkins isn't worth a first rounder, but Jamaal Adams is worth 2, plus a big, new contract?  Yikes, Seahawks

NFCW is gonna be a bloodbath

They want to replace Kam Chancellor's overrated ass SO bad..

The sea chickens typically blow their 1st rounds picks anyway. At least now they get someone who can play.

When you got Russell you can make moves like this. 
 

A great QB allows this, and keeps you in contention for awhile

Terrible trade unless they are going for broke this year and next year. Trade two firsts and Adams agent has them by the balls like Tunsil’s agent did. A safety getting paid the top salary (he’ll get $16M or so) isn’t worth 2 firsts and a 3rd. McDougald cancels out the 4th.

I don’t think Seattle is that great. This helps but I’m not sure Adams makes then a true SB contender. I think SF still wins that division.

I don’t know about that they got the best safety in his prime let’s see who they pick and their production. Jets likely to end up with two decent players out of the whole trade. That is a loss trading away all pros just for ok players is how u become the jets.

Bingo they just added a all pro Safety to all pro LB, that’s two outta three layers of defense. With the way Russell makes plays you’re in good hands offensively and now defensively as well.

They paid more for Adams than Chicago did for Khalil Mack. Pass rushers will always be more valued than safeties, even one as useful as Jamal Adams. 

Seattle overpaid and Jets made out like bandits.

Adams didn’t even want to be there and the highest safety contract in history is just around the corner. lmao that’s just hilarious.

[LinvilleGorge]

That's a helluva haul, but the Seahawks have definitely had a lot of success with elite safeties in the past. They know the value the position can provide to a defense and a team.
