According to Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks and S Jamal Adams have agreed to terms on a four-year, $70 million extension.
The two sides had been in a stalemate until now over guaranteed money, which Rapoport says will be $38 million.
According to Pro Football Talk, the Seahawks were “at the end of the rope” with Adams and made their final offer to the star safety.
“The Seahawks are at the end of their rope in the Jamal Adams negotiations,” Florio detailed. “More than a week after making reportedly a final offer to the fifth-year safety and with no plans to budge, a league source tells PFT that the team is truly done negotiating with Adams.
They believe they’ve made a fair and appropriate offer, and that if he doesn’t want to accept it, he can play out his option year and get franchise-tagged twice, for 2022 and 2023. The Seahawks also are learning that which the Jets concluded before trading him last year — he’s not easily manageable. Or, as the case may be, not manageable at all.”
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.
