Jamal Adams Fantasy

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams wants to get a long-term extension from the team this offseason, but the Jets are in no rush with two more years of control of Adams, plus they could use the franchise tag on him in 2022. Bears safety Eddie Jackson reset the safety market last month, and he and Adams are the only safeties with two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro selection the last two years. Adams will make $3.5 million in 2020, which is 23rd among safeties. It's likely that the stud safety will be looking to become the NFL's highest-paid safety. Head coach Adam Gase has called Adams the "heart and soul of the defense," and he's certainly one of the most attractive fantasy safeties in IDP leagues for the foreseeable future.

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams expects to reach a contract extension with the team this offseason, and the Jets and his representation are in the early stages of talks. The All-Pro safety is optimistic that a deal will get done this offseason. Adams was a first-team All-Pro for the first time in 2019 and made his second straight Pro Bowl. He is set to earn $3.5 million in 2020, which is far below what the top safeties in the league get paid. Adams recorded 6.5 sacks last season and wants to remain with the team for the long haul despite the fact that they tried to trade him at last year's deadline. The sixth overall pick in 2017 is definitely one of the best young safeties in the game and is also great against the run.

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday and said the chances of him playing in Week 16 against the Steelers are "very high." The 24-year-old has been out since Dec. 1. He's one of the key pieces of the entire Jets Defense, so his return would be excellent news as Gang Green looks to slow down a Pittsburgh offense run by quarterback Devlin Hodges. The Jets are still missing several other important pieces of their defense due to injury, though, so New York's defense shouldn't be trusted during fantasy championship week. Adams has 64 total tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception this year, and he'll be back in the IDP mix at safety if he returns to the lineup.
