One of the best things about big trades in the National Football League is people evaluating the winner and loser in the trade almost immediately after it happens.
Such is the case with Jamal Adams getting traded from the New York Jets to the Seattle Seahawks.
One anonymous general manager believes that there was a pretty clear winner of the trade and it wasn’t the team who got the big name.
Speaking to NBC Sports’ Peter King, the anonymous GM praised the Jets for the haul they got in the Jamal Adams trade, and said he wouldn’t have made a similar offer for him. King noted that the anonymous GM’s stance was a “common belief around the league.”
“I wouldn’t trade two ones for a safety,” the anonymous GM said. “Particularly when you’ve got to pay the safety a lot of money. I like what the Jets did.”
Two ones, a three and a starting safety in Brandon McDougald is a trade offer that is hard to turn away.
