Joe Douglas got an offer he couldn't refuse.

The Jets general manager was prepared to have a sit-down with Jamal Adams this week and see if they could resolve Adams' differences with the team that drafted him. But Seattle presented Douglas with The Godfather offer, and he agreed, sending the Jets' best player and a 2022 fourth-round pick to the Seahawks for first-round picks in 2021 and 2022, a 2021 third-rounder and veteran safety Bradley McDougald.
