New York Jets Win
Seattle surrendered two first-round picks — 2021 #23, later used on OT Christian Darrisaw, and 2022 #10, later used on WR Garrett Wilson — plus a 2021 3rd-rounder and S Bradley McDougald to acquire All-Pro S Jamal Adams from the Jets. Adams had a spectacular 2020 debut but injuries limited him to 34 games across four seasons. The Adams trade created a draft and cap deficit that constrained Seattle for years. Adams delivered a spectacular 2020 pass-rushing season from safety, but the injury run that followed erased most of the value. The picks attached to the deal became the type of young cornerstone talent Seattle badly needed. Winner: New York Jets, decisively.
