A win-win trade

Gase believes that Adams will fit in great with the Seahawks, calling the trade a “win-win for both sides.”

After repeated public criticism, it was best for the Jets to move on from Adams. The Jets sent Adams and a fourth-round pick in 2022 to the Seahawks in exchange for fellow safety Bradley McDougald, a first-round pick in 2021, a third-round pick in 2021 and a first-round pick in 2022.

While Gase has a reputation for alienating players, Adams made it known he wanted out after negotiations for a potential contract extension went nowhere. The Jets head coach said that, “We want guys who want to be here. Obviously, he didn’t want to be here anymore, so the decision was made to move on. It’s a team game.”

Gase added that he’s heard nothing from his players since Adams was traded.
