Despite Jamal Adams’ comments disparaging the Jets general manager, Joe Douglas worked with his agent on finding a resolution to the months-long feud between the safety and team.
Douglas and Adams’ agent, Kevin Conner, worked together on finding a trade that worked for both sides, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The two were in constant contact, especially on Saturday when New York was able to hammer out the parameters of a deal with the Seahawks.
Now, Adams is scheduled to fly to Seattle on Monday to undergo a physical, per Schefter. The new Seahawks safety still has the goal of becoming the NFL’s highest-paid safety. That title currently belongs to Eddie Jackson.
Ultimately, the Douglas and Conner were able to come to an understanding that sending Adams to Seattle was best for both sides. While New York is now strapped with draft capital as Douglas continues to rebuild his roster, Seattle acquired a game-changing All-Pro who can help the Seahawks make a Super Bowl push.
