It couldn’t have been more clear that former LSU safety Jamal Adams was ready to depart from the New York Jets, and he got what he wanted this week.
The Jets traded the former Pro Bowl safety to the Seattle Seahawks in a deal that includes two first-round draft picks.
In the trade, Seattle gets Adams and a 2022 fourth-round draft pick, while New York gets a 2021 first-round pick, a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick and safety Bradley McDougald.
That’s quite the haul — to say the least.

The deal is pending physicals, as noted by NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.
A massive haul for the #Jets: Star safety Jamal Adams goes to the #Seahawks along with a 4th rounder in 2022… and it’s a 1st rounder, a 3rd and ANOTHER 1st in 2022 to NYJ — and safety Bradley McDougald. Crazy.

It will be interesting to see how things play out for Adams with the Seahawks — who gain quite a defensive boost with the new addition.
Over three NFL seasons, Adams has recorded 273 tackles, 25 pass deflections, two interceptions and six forced fumbles.
He’s also been named to Pro Bowl twice and is an All-Pro honoree.
