The soap opera between safety Jamal Adams and the New York Jets was finally over as the team sent the 24-year-old to the Seattle Seahawks for two future first-round picks on Saturday.

The Seahawks gave the Jets 2021, 2022 first-rounders, a 2021 third-rounder and safety Bradley McDougald in exchange for Adams and a 2022 fourth-rounder.

ESPN apparently did not want to praise this trade as they wrote following the Seahawks' bargain: "For a safety. For a safety who doesn't intercept the football. For a safety who wants to be paid like a pass-rusher."

It has been months since Adams requested the Jets to trade him. He is the team's best player who was two-time Pro-Bowl and two-time All-Pro Teams. He wanted a new contract that will pay him 17 million U.S. dollars a year or even more, and the Jets apparently did not want to give him that.

This week, Adams started to attack coach Adam Gase, calling him a disqualified leader in an interview. He also posted some unfriendly remarks against team owner Woody Johnson on a social media platform.

Perhaps that's why the Jets changed their mind and decided to remove him, despite that they could still keep him for another two years – maybe longer if they use a franchise tag. Adams' words and deeds already upset the front office and threatened locker room chemistry.

According to ESPN, this was the eighth time since 2000 for a player to be traded with two first-rounders. The latest three times happened with cornerback Jalen Ramsey (2019), tackle Laremy Tunsil (2019) and defensive end Khalil Mack (2018).

If Adams wants to prove that he is just as great as the aforementioned names, he needs to improve his performance. Twelve sacks and six forced fumbles are good, but two interceptions are not.
