Jamal Adams Fantasy

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.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he's confident the team will get a long-term contract extension worked out with All-Pro safety Jamal Adams, who was excused from mandatory minicamp this week for personal reasons. Carroll also said the team expects Adams to be present for training camp at the end of July. Adams is due $9.86 million in the final year of his deal in 2021. The 25-year-old has been regarded as one of the top safeties in the league because of his versatility, and he has been named to three straight Pro Bowls in his four NFL seasons. Adams is an elite pass-rushing defensive back, which is why he should be the top defensive back off the board in IDP drafts.

The Seattle Seahawks have excused safety Jamal Adams from this week's mandatory minicamp for personal reasons, according to a source. The 25-year-old All-Pro is seeking a new contract, but his absence isn't related to any kind of holdout. Seattle traded multiple high-end draft picks to acquire Adams' services from the New York Jets last offseason, and he finished with 83 tackles (11 for loss), 14 QB hits, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and a career-high 9.5 sacks in just 12 games. The three-time Pro Bowler isn't your typical strong safety, as he often comes up into the box to defend against the run and pressure the opposing quarterback. He's one of the best at what he does and should be the first defensive back off the board in IDP drafts.
