The Jamal Adams era in New York is over.

After three successful seasons and one chaotic offseason, the Jets traded their All-Pro safety to the Seattle Seahawks for a package of draft picks and a quality starting defensive back.

Adams quickly became a fan and team favorite when he joined the Jets in 2017. A field general and vocal leader from the start, Adams was the perfect player for a New York market and proved to be one of the most passionate players in recent Jets history. Would it have been nice for Adams to finish his career with the Jets? Sure. But Joe Douglas made the prudent move by trading a player in his prime for top value before shelling out loads of money.

Jets fans will always remember the good times, though. With that, here’s a timeline of Adams’ career with the Jets.

Rookie season

The Jets drafted Adams sixth overall in the 2017 draft to be the face of their defense. Then-coach Todd Bowles named Adams the starting strong safety alongside 2017 second-rounder Marcus Maye, and he started all 16 games during his rookie season. 

Adams made an immediate impact his rookie year with the third-most combined tackles on the team (83). He added nine tackles for a loss, two sacks, one forced fumble and six pass breakups.
