It’s been one hell of a roller-coaster ride for Jamal Adams. The highly-rated NFL safety was pushing for a move away from the New York Jets in the offseason. He handed in a trade request to NY Jets GM Joe Douglas in June. The former LSU man was pushing for a move to a more well-established NFL organization such as the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, and Dallas Cowboys. However, Pete Carroll-led Seattle Seahawks have won the race for Adams’ signature over the weekend.

Seattle Seahawks will let safety Bradley McDougald, a first-round and third-round pick in 2021, and a 2022 first-round pick leave in exchange for Jamal Adams and a Jets’ fourth-round pick from 2022. Here’s what Adams had to say after securing his desired move away from New York.
“To the Seahawks Org & Fans. You have a man on a mission, a man all in on winning a Super Bowl, being the best leader & teammate he can be, & a man who will give everything he has to the city of Seattle and to the 12s all across the world. Thank you for believing in me!” Adams posted on Twitter.
