The Seahawks made a move to improve the defense on Saturday, sending safety Bradley McDougald and multiple draft picks to the Jets in exchange for All-Pro safety Jamal Adams and a 2022 fourth-round pick. Here's a quick look around social media to see what people had to say about the deal.
But the bigger thing to the Jamal Adams trade: the Seahawks just got Kam Chancellor 2.0. And this is probably the most important position to have success with the Seattle scheme

Look how Jamal Adams manhandled Saquon Barkley here. Dude is a monster. Stripped Jones for the TD. #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/Mz0OTQGcYK

Another thing to consider about Jamal Adams: He's not talked about enough as such, but he fits the paradigm of the modern positionless defender. In 2019, 97 snaps at DL. 400 box, 131 slot, 34 CB, 297 FS. He is exactly what the NFL wants right now. Not at all just a safety.

According to @ESPNStatsInfo, Jamal Adams has actually lined up for more snaps at LB/DL than safety since entering the league.

Very curious to see how Seattle deploys him....
Jamal Adams is the best blitzing DB the Seahawks have had since Lawyer Milloy. Adams had 6.5 sacks last season, which would have led the Seahawks. pic.twitter.com/SOOsRzP91h

Jamal Adams has the most sacks (11), hits (11), hurries (27), and total pressures (49) among all NFL defensive backs since joining the league in 2017. pic.twitter.com/4xn9OVztpo

A Jamal Adams Seahawks jersey may need to be in order. Cam Chancellor is still one of my favorite players ever and we basically get another decade of it. Adams is gonna be so damn perfect as the "Bandit" position in that Cover 3 system.
