After a drama-filled showdown with the coaching staff and front office, the Jets sent the star safety along with a fourth-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for two first-round picks, a third-round pick and safety Bradley McDougald.

Before they finalized the deal, however, the Seahawks and Adams agreed to table a contract extension until at least next offseason, according to NFL Network. The 2019 First Team All-Pro will play the 2020 season on his existing rookie contract, earning him $3.59 million.

If the two sides do not work out a lucrative extension next offseason, Adams will be set to make $9.86 million in 2021.

Adams’ desire to sign a new deal with the Jets largely fueled his public critiques of the franchise and his subsequent trade demand. Now likely playing for a contender, Adams is seemingly willing to hold off on his quest to be the highest-paid safety ever for at least another year.

The Seahawks find themselves in a similar situation with Adams as they did when they acquired edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney. The team received Clowney, who played the 2019 season on a franchise tag, for Jacob Martin, Barkevious Mingo and a third-round pick.

After completing his one guaranteed season in Seattle, Clowney now remains unsigned as a free agent.

Considering how much they shelled out for Adams, the Seahawks will likely look to keep the 24-year-old past the two seasons remaining on his rookie deal. His looming extension likely means the team won’t bring back Clowney, according to ESPN.
