Anyone else think Jamal Adams is a bit overrated?

Do you mean as a whole body of work in his career or just based on last year?

Per the article I linked a little earlier Russ is open to a restructure if it means getting extensions for Brown and Adams

Tough to grade him. He's a very good player in a hybrid S/LB role but he's not the best S or the best LB. There are things the Seahawks can gameplan to do with him and there are things the opponents can scheme to do against him. Overthecap has the highest paid S averaging about $15M per year. I wouldn't want to be paying him 125% of that. I posted on a Seahawks board that he was a $13M player with a $19M price tag. It wasn't a popular point of view.

Me too. These players need to start getting called on their demands and teams need to start enforcing what they can and if the players don't like it they can go sit at home and not get paid. You want $17.5M per year for 4 years or you want $10M, $14M and $16M for the next 3 and all one year deals so if you get injured or start to stink your payments end? Also, this whole idea that the next guy up will get the biggest contract is ridiculous

They're close enough that a deal will likely still get done a some point and it'll be one of those meet in the middle kind of things. We've seen the "done negotiating" and "final offer" a million times and it's usually a signal to the other side that it's time to compromise.
But that's what happens when you trade two 1st round picks for a guy. You give him a ton of leverage, his camp knows it, and he's going to use it.

wanted this guy in Dallas real bad....now, not so much
Adams wants to be paid as a linebacker, which is understandable when you're great at the LOS, applying pressure and the hammer...as well as being a liability in coverage 10 or more yards down field.

It worked out for the Seahawks when they played hardball for Clowney, i guess we will find out how this works out.

Adams doesn't have a lot of leverage because he wants a lot more than the 5th year option and 2 franchise tag years will pay him. Financially he should have forced the issue during his 4th year rookie contract when he risked the least and the Seahawks were most vulnerable. When it comes to contract negotiations the Seahawks are elite. They continually get more talent signed for less money than any team other than the Patriots.
Getting the best play out of unhappy players is a different issue.

Based on this thread, he's a combination of Derrick Brooks and Ed Reed.

So why post in a thread if you don't care? Never understood why posters feel the need to let the rest of know they don't care, you think we care if you care?
Seriously! How has this gotten to 37 pages? How and why is this?!

Seahawks, Jamal Adams agree to contract
Jamal Adams will now be a happy camper in Seattle.

Its almost like 95% of these kind of negotiations end up the same and there's not really a reason to pay attention to the noise prior. They all have to go through their dance before coming to grips
