Yeah, this looks like a really bad trade.

I would never give up two first rounders for any safety. Position just is not worth that - then they are going to have to eat up big time cap space on a safety.

Might make them better this year, but a stupid move for the long run.

and he wants a new contract

on one hand, the Seahawks are all in with Russ

but... their o-line was bad last year, and they arguably got worse there in the offseason. I dont think you need to be great there, but i think a SB team needs to be at least "average", even with Russell Wilson.

the cheapest way to build that is via the draft, but that just got far more difficult

so is it really about counting on Russ to make magic week in and week out?

the Seahawks will be good but not great -- good enough to look like a SB team for stretches, but not good enough to clinch home field, and, will lose on the road in the playoffs (or shorter, the same Seattle team weve seen for the last five years)

He's a flippin safety. Laugh my azz off at the Seahawks.

On March 12, 2018, the Seattle Seahawks re-signed McDougald to a three-year, $13.95 million contract with $6.50 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $4 million.

Adams wanted mega $$$$$$.

" The Jets aren’t shopping Adams, according to Robinson. They’re also clearly not hanging up on anyone who calls. But the Jets are asking for a first- and third-round pick for Adams, which would be a bigger haul than the compensation for cornerback Jalen Ramsey (who netted a first- and fourth-round pick). Though Adams is arguably better at his position than Ramsey, the trade market for a safety must be less robust than that for a cornerback.

So perhaps, if Adams moves, it’ll be for a first-round pick. Here’s who might be willing to part ways with that kind of capital to add Adams and give him a contract extension."

and everybody laughed at the Jets asking price.

Idiotic on their part


They gave up 2 1sts and a second and still have to pay the man.

Begging for cap hell

Cardinals future looking brighter and brighter.

Reports here in Jets-land is Adams wants to be the highest paid defensive player - not the highest paid safety, but the highest paid defensive player - in the NFL. So if they win the next Super Bowl, maybe it's worth it. If they don't, then this deal is a YOOOGE mistake, cuz they'll be in cap hell for a pretty good while. But it's the Seahags, so screw 'em. I hope it all fails for them.

Wow this one is right up there on Bill O’Brien level. Great way to mortgage your future Sea Hags and on a friggin safety of all positions haha... The future is looking brighter for our ascension to best in the west sooner than later imo :clapping:

I love Adams but I’m not giving up two 1st rounders and a 3 for a downhill SS who is going to break the bank soon.

aren’t they already in cap trouble wasn’t that the reason they couldn’t sign Clark and now Clowney

Did Paul Allen's sister, Jody Allen, make this deal?

The only saving grace possibilty is if Adam's plays on his current contract, hawks win the SB.
If not they trade him away and try to recoup some of that draft capital. That's a whole bunch of " what if's".

The next draft will be more of a crap shoot than ever. It will be interesting to see who has the worse cap situation in two years considering Jones, Budda and Hopkins will be paid by then (and possibly PP).

Not really.

Those are valuation moves. It's not that they couldn't pay Clark, but didn't want to offer what he'd want and receive

Clowney has been in that holding pattern with everyone - he wants more than the offers that are out there

Seattle could find themselves in a similar conversation with Adams

Their recent valuations have been all over the place though

Adams is a great player and even better fit. That price is really steep though, more than I'd be willing to pay.

Counterweighted a little that they got Riggs for a reasonable deal, if Dunbar plays they didn't give up much there and they didn't pay much for Clowney either

Which again shows their valuations are a bit all over the place

I wonder if this will impact trade valuations with draft picks.

There may not be much of a college season or development of players

Obviously talent will be there, but will be tough next year

Cardinals should be in decent shape since Murray would still be on a rookie deal.

Next draft will be insane. Idk how you could evaluate college players.

A spring league?

I applaud Seattle for refusing to not try to win a championship. It may not work out but they arent willing to let us overtake them without a fight
