1. Jamal Adams
All of the safeties on this list are capable in coverage, but none of them can match the overall impact of Adams, who is the top run defender and pass rusher at his position by far. In addition to allowing just 58 yards after the catch last year, he posted Brian Burns-like numbers when getting after the quarterback. Adams totaled 6.5 sacks and 13 quarterback hits in 2019. If the Jets don’t pay him, it may be the single most Jets thing they’ve ever done.
