Report: Former LSU star Jamal Adams leaving the Jets as part of blockbuster trade
The Legion of Boom is long gone from the Seattle Seahawks’ secondary. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas are no longer on the team.
However, on Saturday, the Seahawks took a huge step toward what could be a new Legion of Boom, adding former LSU star Jamal Adams in a trade with the Jets.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jets get current Seattle S Bradley McDougald, first-round picks in 2021 and 2022 and a third-round pick in 2021 in exchange for Adams and a Round 4 pick in 2022:

Adams has made his displeasure with the Jets known in the past few months, asking for a trade. Now, he’s on the move to a team expected to challenge for a playoff spot in the NFC.
In 3 NFL seasons, Adams has appeared in and started 46 games. He has 273 tackles, 12 sacks, 2 interceptions, 6 forced fumbles and 2 touchdowns on his impressive resume.
Will the Seahawks sign him to a new contract like he wants? We’ll see what happens moving forward in Seattle.
The jets just fleeced the hawks. 2 1st rd picks and a 3rd rd pick for adams??? We’ll call mcdougald and the 4th rd pick the side deal.
win the sb or bust in 2020.
by comparison, the steelers pulled off fitzpatrick for a conditional 1st rd pick last year.
adams 2019 stats: 75 tackles, 10 tfls, 6.5 sacks, 2 ff, 1 int, 10 pd
fitzpatrick 2019 stats: 57 tackles, 1 tfl, 0 sacks, 2 ff, 5 int, 9 pd
adams may have had the better year statistically, but not by much when you consider that fitzpatrick was responsible for 7 TOs to his 3.
Not by much? No, he’s just 1st team All-Pro, that’s all. Fitzpatrick is much better.
Jets won that trade. Got rid of a cancer on the team, picked up 2 first round picks, got an extra body… Winners in my opinion.
CBS gave Seattle a B+ for the deal and the Jets a B-. I think both teams are happy with the deal, so both teams won. Seattle thinks they are close to making a run at the title. The Jets are just a confused franchise. Weird signing Bell for all that money, but then trading away your best player for draft picks, which means win later. Why sign Bell and not Adams?
