Seahawks & Jamal Adams ‘Not Close At All’ On New Deal, But Adams Still Expected To Report To Camp

According to Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks and S Jamal Adams are not close at all on a new deal. 

However, Rapoport adds Adams is expected to report to training camp and not hold out.

Seattle has previously expressed an openness to making Adams the NFL’s highest-paid safety, so the only question really is how much Adams beats that figure by. 

Adams, 25, is a former first-round pick of the Jets out of LSU back in 2017. He played out the fourth year of his four-year rookie contract worth $22,256,084, which includes a signing bonus of $14,326,244.

The Jets exercised Adams’ fifth-year option before ultimately trading him to the Seahawks for a package including two first-round picks.

The option will cost the Seahawks $9.86 million for the 2021 season. 

In 2020, Adams appeared in 12 games for the Seahawks and recorded 83 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, one forced fumble, no interceptions, and three pass defenses. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 53 safety out of 94 qualifying players. 

We’ll have more on Adams as the news is available.
