Jamal Adams Fantasy

The Seattle Seahawks signed defensive back Jamal Adams to a four-year, $70 million extension on Tuesday. The deal includes a $38 million guaranteed. The Seahawks traded two first-round picks to acquire Adams from the New York Jets in 2020. Adams was a candidate for the franchise tag and considered holding out. The 25-year-old reportedly was going to challenge the safety franchise tag and claim he was a linebacker. Adams remains in Seattle after signing a massive four-year deal. The All-Pro safety racked up 83 (59 solos, 24 assists) tackles, 9.5 interceptions, and a forced fumble in 12 games in 2020.

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams was acquired from the New York Jets a year ago, and he's spent the offseason working with the team's front office on a new contract that would make him the highest-paid safety in football. As of a couple of weeks ago, the two sides were reportedly not even close to agreeing to an extension, but it was a good sign that Adams showed up to the first day of camp rather than initiating a holdout. The team is largely prolonging the inevitable, considering the amount of draft capital they gave up to get him, but as long as Adams is showing up to practice, it's a step in the right direction.

The Seattle Seahawks and All-Pro safety Jamal Adams are not close to a contract extension, but it will be interesting to see if the two sides make any progress next week. A new deal for Adams is expected to be for around $16 million per year, but it could become an issue for the Seahawks if he gets to the $17-18 million range because of his sack numbers. He's scheduled to make $9.8 million on his fifth-year option for 2021 after Seattle gave up two first-round picks to acquire him from the New York Jets. The Seahawks are committed to extending one of the best safeties in football, but this could bleed into training camp later this month. Adams should be the first safety off the board in IDP drafts.
