Let’s rewind the clock to April 2017, when Mike Maccagnan and the New York Jets selected two safeties back-to-back in the first two rounds of the draft – Jamal Adams (No. 6 overall) and Marcus Maye (No. 39). Imagine if I told you that, in four years, one of those two players would no longer be a Jet, while the other would be a top-5 safety primed to earn one of the league’s richest deals on the free agent market.
Adams is a Seattle Seahawk coming off of a shaky season riddled by porous coverage (a strange development after his elite coverage as a Jet from 2018-19).
