As one of the top defensive players in the NFL, it’s not hard to envision the Seahawks eventually signing Adams to a multi-year extension.

New York Jets star S Jamal Adams has been traded to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for S Bradley McDougald, a 1st-round pick in 2021, a 3rd-round pick in 2021, and a 1st-round pick in 2022.
