The best thing about adding Love to Diggs and Neal (for now) is you can ask less from Adams in coverage and ask less as a tone setter in the hitting department.
But I think they’ll literally ask for less from Adams,
…like our vision for you has changed, but we have a plan for you, we want you to be a nickle/dime role player specifically in the box and be able to pin your ears back as a pass rusher but in order to do this we want to renegotiate and reduce your salary $8-$12m less per year but we’ll offer incentives to earn half that back with availability and production escalators….
Then Adams has to face that ultimatum and really figure if he wants to remain a part of this team and face the challenge of being reduced to a specialist. Or face the challenge of an open market that might also only view him as a specialist rather than an up-and-coming safety and if he can even get mid-market money at this point or long term stability for that matter considering his play and injury history.
I’d consider it a win-win scenario either way for the Seahawks whether he moves on or stays on in a reduced role and reduced compensation.
