710 ESPN Seattle radio host and former Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Jake Heaps, revealed on Thursday that the team may be interested in New York Jets safety Jamal Adams, who publicly requested a trade last month.
“I actually had a conversation with a friend of mine who works in a front office on the other side of the country for an NFL team, and we were talking and he actually said, ‘So your Seahawks are really into Jamal Adams,’” Heaps said on the Tom, Jake and Stacy Show.
“He said, yeah, the Seahawks are absolutely pursuing Jamal Adams,” Heaps continued. “… I think that trade conversations are heating up around Jamal Adams and that the Seahawks, in particular, are one of those teams that are continuing to pursue Jamal Adams.”
Heaps believes that Adams could provide stability to Seattle’s secondary it has not seen since the days of the Legion of Boom, comparing him to former Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor. The Jets will likely desire something big in return even if Adams wants a trade to happen, but he could be worth it.
“If the Seahawks are interested in Jamal Adams and he’s willing to play out at least for this season on his current deal, I think that that could be a really dynamic trade and a big boost for the Seahawks that could really take that defense and that defensive backfield back to that Legion of Boom type of status again,” Heaps said. “Because as much as we reminisce about Kam Chancellor, Jamal Adams is a generational talent at that position and plays very similarly to Kam.”
Whatever the cost may be, it is enticing to think of Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs as a tandem anchoring the secondary.
“…Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams as your safeties for the foreseeable future? That’s a dynamic combination right there.”
