The career arc of Jamal Adams continued in the same direction as the last 4 years and has reached its conclusion.
Not the worst trade we ever made (that will always be Percy Harvin) but certainly one of the top 3

Can't deny the Jamal provided us with a nice moment in the sun during his time here, but after that initial outburst things went downhill in a hurry and never got better. To me his first year here was great but when it was over is when his retirement began.

He came out all guns-a-blazin', but he was one of those players who seemed entirely reckless with abandonment to the point of injuring himself. The effort was there, but there's an element of the game where you need to be smart in how you tackle. Not sure proper technique was in his play book. Too bad.

Exactly this. Couldn't say it any better. The dude was a baller but not super bright in those terms.

I think Jamal had the best intentions and was fired up to be with the Seahawks. The safety sack record thing was ridiculously cool. Injuries and just not being a very good true safety soured his latter years here.

Craptastic attitude and immaturity were an unfortunate negative too.
