Seahawks GM uses faulty logic in defending Jamal Adams trade package

There's no question that the Seahawks landed a premium player in trading for Jamal Adams, but they certainly paid a high price to do so.

To acquire the All-Pro safety, Seattle sent its first-round picks in the next two NFL drafts, a 2021 third-round pick and Bradley McDougald -- a pretty good safety in his own right -- to the New York Jets. The Seahawks also received the Jets' 2022 fourth-round pick in the deal.

There hasn't been a great track record for teams giving up that much in a trade for a player who, albeit is a star, will still need to be paid a record-setting contract extension.
