Jamal Adams likely Out for Season

[Spohawks]

With Adams as my favorite defensive player, it hurts to finally admit that the trade was a bust.

Unlimited potential but simply to injury prone.

Next man up!

 

[Welshers]

Yep. Ultimately it was a bad trade. To the front office's credit, there was no indication he was this injury prone prior to making the trade. It still seemed like we gave up a lot for him, but who knows, maybe if he had been healthy all this time hes a DPOY type guy and we're praising the trade.

Oh well. I'm tired of lamenting it. Big bummer.

 

[LickMyNuts]

BS . some of us thought this was a losing trade from day one . He was damaged goods to start with and counting .

You missed your calling as an NFL GM.

He was a young All Pro when we traded for him.

 

[LickMyNuts]

I can’t really fault them for the trade. But the contract was a little much.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Another fluke injury, that guy wants to win bad. That's a huge loss for this team. Regardless what people think of the guy. Sometimes you swing and miss on a contract. It's not like the guy is getting hurt on purpose. Crap happens.

The problem with that trade and what we gave up to get him, we cornered ourselves and force that contract. What other options did we have?

An incentive based contract. I wouldn’t have been fearful of him testing free agency to set his value.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is it for him.

 

[Slick]

It just sucks. I like Jamal but injuries are the story of his Seahawk tenure.

 

[flv2]

Very good player with a unique skill-set on a fair market contract. I hope he makes a full recovery.

 

[FattyKnuckle]

Holding the injuries against the guy is a lil silly considering his injury history prior to Seattle, and there's nothing he can do about his leg buckling there.

Bad trade, but still a good player and his teammates love him. Sad to lose him.

I'm still fine with the initial trade. We needed a playmaker on defense and he checked every box. I think it was pricey but acceptable. The extension is a little shadier in retrospect obviously. But it's not like he's getting hurt on an ATV or something. Dude's getting hurt because he goes 100% every snap. In the end, it turns out to be a terrible result from the trade but I don't think that makes it a bad trade to have done in the first place. The measurable were all there and it's been a bunch of fluky injuries that's laid him up. I still don't even see on the replays how he hurt it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

You can't predict injuries, period.

Yeah, it's easy to just say 'everything this office does stinks' and then make as much noise as possible when it turns out to be true and just slink off to the shadows when you are wrong.

I was never hugely down on the trade and thought it made sense for a team that felt like they were on the cusp. We now know that there was other issues behind the scenes, but I don't think we were crazy to think we were just a few impact players away from turning the corner and Adams--when healthy--is a hell of an impact player.

I'm sorry he's injured and in hindsight, we gave up more than we got, but I always liked him as a player.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And it's a massive loss on the field imo. This guy has a ton of talent. Fingers crossed that at SOME POINT we get him healthy.

 

[James in PA]

He had like no injury history when he was with the Jets. Then he comes here and cannot stay on the damn field. It's just friggin ridiculously bad luck. The trade was still absurd, but nobody could have seen him turning into CJ Prosise.

Seattle seems to get A LOT of players that turn into CJ Prosise as soon as they get here

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That's the spirit

 

[Seymour]

I wonder when we can get out of that contract without a massive cap hit?

He only has 2.5M guaranteed if he is cut by Feb 4th 2023. So hopefully they end the waste of money and dump him.

All teams suffer injuries Jamal is the best player on our defense. 17 Million isn’t a cap crusher nowadays.
It‘s not a bid deal when we’re not a Super Bowl contender.

 

[CalgaryFan05]

Sucks but, it’s bad luck. He’s the BEST player on the field when healthy…even with the hands of stone.

You can disagree. Doesn’t fade my opinion one bit.

I agree mostly. I love his attitude. I love the bravado even.

But, as other have called him, Mr. Glass - is done. Cya bud. Thanks for the effort. I don't know the mechanics of the contracts and such, but we need to straight up eat whatever we need to eat and part ways.

Unless that's $$$$ impossible, which again, I don't know. Never gonna stay on the field.

I should have read this before I posted.

2.5MM? Cut him now. That's nothing.
