Worst trade in the history of Seahawks, dude is going to bail out of here for money when we don’t give it to him after this season. When he does John needs fired for this, hire someone the dude from the ravens have trained
The front office made this trade knowing he was not a rental. He will be paid by the Seahawks. A lot. He's not a "win this season" guy like Clowney was. The Hawks have always put tremendous priority and value on defensive back players. PC/JS have never not signed a great secondary player to that first big extension while they are young. We paid Earl, Kam, and Richard (close to) league leading contracts (at the time) and we will do the same with Adams.
Bobby won't be on the books forever and to win it all, you need a few superstars, just not too many ($$$$). In my opinion, we can't win a Super Bowl this year without a healthy Adams in the postseason. I can't see us winning three or four games in a row against elite teams and players (Rodgers, Brees, Brady) without Adams.
Point being, if he stabilizes the defense enough to help us find a way to another Lombardi in the next year or two, there is no way he can be considered a bad trade. Especially when you consider that those first rounders literally look like they are going be very high picks now that Russ has carte blanche.
