NFL GM on Jamal Adams Trade: I Wouldn't Give Up 2 1st-Round Picks for a Safety

Though the Seattle Seahawks acquired an elite talent in Jamal Adams, those around the NFL think they might have given up too much in the trade with the New York Jets.

"I wouldn't trade two ones for a safety," one veteran GM told Peter King of NBC Sports. "Particularly when you've got to pay the safety a lot of money. I like what the Jets did."

King called this sentiment a "common belief around the league."

Seattle gave up two first-round picks, one third-round pick and safety Bradley McDougald in exchange for Adams and a 2022 fourth round-pick.
