Jets deal Jamal Adams and 4th-round pick in 2022
To
Seattle, in exchange for Bradley McDougald (safety), 1st-round pick in 2021, 3rd-round pick in 2021, and 1st-round pick in 2022, source tells ESPN.
Deal is pending physicals.
Adams was drafted with the sixth overall pick of the 2017 draft out of LSU. After starting all 16 games his first two seasons, Adams earned All-Pro honors in 2019 although he missed two games. Adams also has a Pro Bowl selection from 2018 on his resume.
In hopes of receiving a new long-term contract before the end of his rookie deal, Adams requested a trade from the New York Jets this offseason.
The other player involved in the trade was Seattle safety Bradley McDougald. Undrafted out of Kansas in 2013, McDougald originally signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. After being promoted from the practice squad his rookie year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed McDougald off waivers. McDonald joined the Seahawks in 2017 and has one year remaining on his contract.
The New York Jets will acquire Seattle’s first and third-round draft picks in the 2021 draft. The Jets will also receive Seattle’s 2022 first-round draft pick while sending back their fourth round pick in return.
