I’m struggling to see how this trade helps the Jets in their current situation. They only have a projected 18 mil going into 2021 free agency. They have no corners, no pass rush, 1 slot receiver and a terrible O Line.
They also have a qb on a rookie contract, which to some, would be an indication to win now.
So essentially the GM is saying that their window to win is 3-5 years from now, even with the patriots dynasty looking for a reboot. If I was a Jets fan I would be livid, however, Jamal Adams did force their hand so it wasn’t much they could do.
Leave it to the Jets to make sure the Patriots still find their way to the playoffs.
What was the alternative? Keep him after he shit all over his HC? That sets a great tone for the team.
Im sure Adams tried to make it work plenty of times before he became publicly disgruntled, he was a captain and is a pretty cerebral guy.
When you play that hard, you just want to be on a team that’s going to make the same level of sacrifice. Besides maybe the Ravens, there isn’t a better defense in the league he could have gone to. They just traded away their two best players on defense in less than a year and replaced them with basically the next up on the depth chart.
They just lost their best player on the team by miles. They don't have a great defense anymore. They're banking everything on Sam Darnold. No real offensive line or weapons to speak of. They got the two 1st round picks, BUT unfortunately for the Jets, Seattle is already and will be a very good team for the next two years, so those two 1st round picks will be near the end of the 1st round, not at the top. Don't get me wrong. Those two picks are valuable, but it's not like they're going to have two top 10 picks or even two picks in the top half of the first round for that matter. And now the Jets need basically every position under the sun...again.
The picks they received if packaged together could easily get them into the top 5
they are already a contender and if Metcalf takes the next step that offense adds a new dimension. And they lost both their RBs for the playoffs so they couldn’t really lean on that like they did in the regular season - if they had Carson and Penny I bet the win that fame. They’ve also been missing that additional playmaker on defense and now they have one.
Good trade for the Jets too but they still have to make the picks for it to work out and that’s something they haven’t been good at.
Seattle defense gave up more yards than Giants last year
Bradley Mcdougald was likely a big part of that, he started at SS against a run heavy 49ers offense, fighting for the NFC West title and a bye week in the playoffs. Not only was he the source of a few 49ers highlights that day, but he had a combined 2 tackles and no other recorded stats.
Jamal Adams definitely makes that team better, they traded for Quandre Diggs in the middle of the season and he took some time getting acclimated. All they need is to resign Clowney and I’d put my money on them to represent the NFC in the super bowl.
I'd take that bet. Defense was only slightly better than the Giants, run defense was worse.
They played a pretty soft schedule. Split w/Rams, swept the Cards, Bengals, Steelers (2pts), Browns (4 points), Atlanta (3 pts.), Tampa (OT), Carolina 6 points.
I hear what ur sayin but have you looked at an updated Seattle defense depth chart? Db’s are Shaquill Griffin, Quinton Dunbar, Tre Flowers. Lb’s are Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright and newcomer Jordyn Brooks. D line has Jarran Reed, Mayowa, Green and Collier? Bruce Irvin also in the fold? Their biggest weakness is d line and that changes if Clowney is back.
They will be a much better defense than they were last year, that should go without saying. All I’m saying is that my Seahawks friends are ecstatic right now and I agree with their outlook.
The Jets were in a tough spot with Adams. But the Jets aren’t a contender next season so why not deal a guy who’s talking shit about your HC for a haul of picks? They can season Darnold some more and get him some weapons and reload on the defense. I don’t know the Jets cap sitch but the extra first round picks will help.
For Seattle, yes, its a lot to give up but they have two stars already in Wagner and Wilson and Adams makes them a much better defense. Seattle has Wilson who can and does carry that offense and Adams is gonna love playing there and make the Seahawks defense pretty fucking fierce.
I don't know... everyone was criticizing the Steelers for trading what would have been a very high 1st round pick for Fitzpatrick, but he wound up being a huge reason they finished 8-8 instead of much worse.
Adams backed them into a corner and all that, can’t blame the jets for doing this, but just like the Knicks and the KP move, it’s sad it came to this. I wouldn’t be happy if I’m a jets fan today. Yea they got a lot back, they still ain’t drafting Jamal adams again with these picks.
very expensive. If it’s a fair trade then the NYG got taken when dealing OBJ.
I think that is better determined by what OBJ does over the next couple of years. Not what Adams got.
Not really. He had enough games before and now some after. Cleveland made the deal on what they knew.
How so? For the Giants to have been scammed he would have to be one of the top receivers after the trade. What he did before the trade has only a value up until the trade. To judge if we did poorly in that trade would depend on what his performance was afterward and how we utilized the draft picks plus J. Peppers performance.
OBJ ranked 29th in receiving yards and 49th in TDs in 2019
I am thinking it differently. I am suggesting DG should have been
maybe you think OBJ should have netted more, but you also don’t know any of the intricate details to make that call.
What we know is Adams is at least as good a safety as Beckham was a WR (and better considering Beckham was injured) and has 2 years of cost control left compared to a big money WR deal.
what they say, but Adams seems more controlled whereas OBJ seems to just lose it ... more importantly, Adams makes his teammates better and his play is infectious ... OBJs main focus is his brand. This is a good trade for both teams.

Agree with your assessment, UConn. There is also the factor that, in his own way, not as frontal an in-your-face way as Adams', but Odell was taking his shots at the team, Eli, how the Giants were limiting him, etc. At the time of the trade, it wasn't clear, to me at least, whether the ankle injury would have an impact going forward, capping his explosiveness.
Odell was far more toxic than Adams has been looking at hindsight and comparing both. To get a new deal and still do what he did is where I think the line was finally crossed, something Adams might do but hasn’t happened yet.
I’m sorry but when did safety become some worthless position that doesn’t impact things. Who decided this ? Same people that say rb isn’t impactful?
Adams is the very embodiment of impact player. But what does Pete Carroll, russel Wilson and the Seattle GM know. All they do is win. Let’s trust the jets?
probably the best in the game, but he struggles in space and coverage and let’s be honest, space and coverage is where this game is won or lost at this juncture of the nfl evolution. (Who knows where it will be in a few years but right now the premium value is in space and coverage at that position).
He’s surrounded by two great coverage defenders in Wag and KJ Wright. The only hiccup would be what’s going on with Quinton Dunbar.
But let’s not act like Adams is terrible in coverage, he hasn’t allowed a passer rating over 75 against him in two years.
Adams and Wagner would also be included in any top 3 hardest hitting players list in the NFL. Offenses now have to deal with two of those players on the same team.
They wanted an Enforcer and I have to believe Adams is exactly that
I’m struggling to see how this trade helps the Jets in their current situation. They only have a projected 18 mil going into 2021 free agency. They have no corners, no pass rush, 1 slot receiver and a terrible O Line.

That’s a tough pill to swallow.
That is the complete opposite of what Adams has been since he got here. He's been a melodramatic attention seeking social media whore. Very mouthy, very emotional, spoiled and immature. He flipped out because our GM dared to answer the phone last deadline on a trade inquiry and compared himself to Brady (and Aaron Donald I believe). It's always going to be about him, and others around the league definitely see him for the phony that he is.

You left out all pro player.
At first I thought the Jets got off with a coup, but I'm starting
to think its not as bad as it originally seems. Jamal Adams had other suitors and imo it was pretty clear he was just being a headache because he was at complete odds with Gase and the Jets FO.
IMO RW is a top 3 QB and probably has 3-4 more years of his prime and then who knows what. I personally think Aaron Rodgers is the best QB game, or at least was but look how much his play dropped off after his knee injury and he had to become a pure pocket passer. Hard to imagine a non pure pocket passer playing well past 35. Might as well make a run while you can, plus he's a great fit for what they do over there defensively.
probably the best in the game, but he struggles in space and coverage and let’s be honest, space and coverage is where this game is won or lost at this juncture of the nfl evolution. (Who knows where it will be in a few years but right now the premium value is in space and coverage at that position).
Agree with all of this.
His impact would be significant on a team with an already good pass defense.
I wouldn't underestimate Pete Carroll's ability to maximize his abilities, but at the same time even if this is Kam Chancellor in his prime, you're still missing Earl Thomas and a pair of edge rushers (not to mention CBs on the caliber of Sherman/Browner).
I think he represents a unique ability to deal with mobile QBs and TEs. In a division with Kittle and Kyler Murray, should be interesting to see how he fares against those two.
This is easily the best talent Seattle has traded for since Marshawn Lynch. He will likely be as good as he with the Jets or better. The problem is the safety position on a mediocre defense is a lot lower on impact than the positions of TE (Jimmy Graham), WR (Percy Harvin), OT (Duane Brown), DE (Clowney). None of those acquisitions lived up to the draft capital. The Jimmy Graham trade was the worst because they gave up an all pro center (Max Unger) that hurt their run game while pairing Graham with a QB who wasn't close to Drew Brees.
Not sure this will live up the draft capital either.
Seattle is overrated from a GM perspective because they nailed the 2010-2012 FA/Trade/Drafts that built a monster, but since then hasn't yielded much.
They never nail a first rounder ever, and can only trade for a decent first round player from time to time. So in a weird way, they can rationalize giving up two 1sts, but then at the same time if you can never land even a decent 1st round player you're never going to be great. Earl Thomas was their last great homegrown 1st round player, ten years ago.
Another top heavy team weak in the trenches. Will be entertaining week to week but won't be a dominant team. Last year's +7 point differential was flukish.....9th best in the conference, despite having 4th best record.

God you are so predictable. You were praising Adams not too long ago and now he’s an egomaniac whore?
I don’t condone what players like Adams do to get traded elsewhere but Gase has been the problem since he arrived and there’s really no way around that. Awful hire, awful HC, and I don’t doubt a single thing Adams claimed he does (or doesn’t do). Gase is a disaster.
As for Adams in coverage, maybe he will excel playing for a franchise that knows what the fuck it’s doing and has players around him, I need to see him not play for the Jets before I get on him for lack of coverage skills.

Good points, the Jets CB’s have been among the worst in football during Adams’ entire career. He’s still been a great player regardless and I expect him to thrive in Seattle with more talent and a much better coaching staff.
Gase not only is a poor HC he also doesn’t have a good relationship with many his players.

I was fine with him being traded at the deadline last year. He had a great year (his best year...under Gase/Williams/Douglas, better than he ever played under idiot Bowles and Kacy Rodgers) But you look at his amateurish shenanigans, his obsession with wanting to be the highest paid safety ever...if you can get that kind of return for him then you have to make the deal. He'll be throwing tantrums in Seattle too soon enough

No he won't because they have a great coach and system plus they are a veteran team lead by Russell Wilson. Just about every one of your predictions were wrong last year so maybe just stick to a Jets site.
I still don't understand why people like this post on another teams fan site.

That's not unrealistic as Pete Carroll's rah rah ways allows for players to speak out in protest all too easily.
Colin Cowherd, who's a bit of a Seahawk homer felt the Seahawks had no vision with this move. That's a bigger haul than the Bears gave up to get Khalil Mack, SMH.
Jets will probably net low 20s pick this year and/or next. Two first round picks minimum for the next two seasons. That's a good situation to be in.

BBI overrates the Seahawks a bit too much.
They're the definition of a tough out, but by DVOA standards they are nowhere near the team they were 5+ years ago.
They hold it together and win games in dramatic fashion here and there but it's not the same secondary as years past.

If he’s back they win that division easily, San Fran lost 3-4 wide receivers and training camp hasn’t even started, the NFC West is wide open
It's the Jets, one of the picks will be a bust. The other will be a decent starter but nowhere close to the caliber player that Adams is.

I get what Seattle looks at - they are already a good team and now have a top level player behind good LBs

So in a weird way, they can rationalize giving up two 1sts, but then at the same time if you can never land even a decent 1st round player you're never going to be great. Earl Thomas was their last great homegrown 1st round player, ten years ago.
Another top heavy team weak in the trenches. Will be entertaining week to week but won't be a dominant team. Last year's +7 point differential was flukish.....9th best in the conference, despite having 4th best record.
That is the complete opposite of what Adams has been since he got here. He's been a melodramatic attention seeking social media whore. Very mouthy, very emotional, spoiled and immature. He flipped out because our GM dared to answer the phone last deadline on a trade inquiry and compared himself to Brady (and Aaron Donald I believe). It's always going to be about him, and others around the league definitely see him for the phony that he is.
God you are so predictable. You were praising Adams not too long ago and now he’s an egomaniac whore?
I don’t condone what players like Adams do to get traded elsewhere but Gase has been the problem since he arrived and there’s really no way around that. Awful hire, awful HC, and I don’t doubt a single thing Adams claimed he does (or doesn’t do). Gase is a disaster.
As for Adams in coverage, maybe he will excel playing for a franchise that knows what the fuck it’s doing and has players around him, I need to see him not play for the Jets before I get on him for lack of coverage skills.

Good points, the Jets CB’s have been among the worst in football during Adams’ entire career. He’s still been a great player regardless and I expect him to thrive in Seattle with more talent and a much better coaching staff.
Gase not only is a poor HC he also doesn’t have a good relationship with many his players.

I was fine with him being traded at the deadline last year. He had a great year (his best year...under Gase/Williams/Douglas, better than he ever played under idiot Bowles and Kacy Rodgers) But you look at his amateurish shenanigans, his obsession with wanting to be the highest paid safety ever...if you can get that kind of return for him then you have to make the deal. He'll be throwing tantrums in Seattle too soon enough

No he won't because they have a great coach and system plus they are a veteran team lead by Russell Wilson. Just about every one of your predictions were wrong last year so maybe just stick to a Jets site.
I still don't understand why people like this post on another teams fan site.

That's not unrealistic as Pete Carroll's rah rah ways allows for players to speak out in protest all too easily.
Colin Cowherd, who's a bit of a Seahawk homer felt the Seahawks had no vision with this move. That's a bigger haul than the Bears gave up to get Khalil Mack, SMH.
Jets will probably net low 20s pick this year and/or next. Two first round picks minimum for the next two seasons. That's a good situation to be in.

You sound awfully bias against Seattle. I wonder why.

BBI overrates the Seahawks a bit too much.
They're the definition of a tough out, but by DVOA standards they are nowhere near the team they were 5+ years ago.
They hold it together and win games in dramatic fashion here and there but it's not the same secondary as years past.
