Long read, but a very good article breaking everything down.

No, I didn’t forget any zeroes or any commas.
Eighty-three thousand eighteen dollars and zero cents.
That is the exact dollar difference - from a cash flow perspective - for the 2020 and 2021 seasons - between Seattle trading for Jamal Adams last offseason or not trading for Jamal Adams last offseason.
Eighty-three thousand . . . and change.
Intrigued?
First, let’s revisit “The Trade”
Just to refresh everyone’s memory - and to define which parts of the trade are “relevant” for this article . . .
New York gets (got):
Seattle’s 2021 first-round draft pick
Seattle’s 2021 third-round pick
Seattle’s 2022 first-round pick
Safety Bradley McDougald
Seattle gets (got):
Safety Jamal Adams
New York’s 2022 fourth-round draft pick
The pieces of that trade that are relevant for this article:
Jamal Adams
Bradley McDougald
The 2021 first-round draft pick (#23 overall)
The 2022 third-round draft pick (#86 overall)
The pieces of the trade that are NOT relevant for this article:
The 2022 first-round draft pick that Seattle sent to the Jets
The 2022 fourth-round draft pick that the Jets sent to Seattle
NOTE: Both of these draft picks clearly are relevant and both clearly impact how people feel about the trade (the 1st round pick more than the 4th round pick, obviously). But both are also huge UNKNOWNS right now so they’re excluded from the analysis.
