The entire living, breathing football world understood New York Jets fans wouldn’t be rooting for Jamal Adams Saturday afternoon. (Further explanation not required.) But fans had even more of an incentive to see the Seattle Seahawks go down.
A Los Angeles Rams victory in Seattle would give the Jets a better first-round selection in the 2021 NFL draft.
The Joe Douglas summer special that sent a disgruntled Adams and a 2022 fourth-round selection to the Great Northwest for a pair of first-round picks, a third-rounder and Bradley McDougald will now fetch the Jets a first-round pick somewhere in the 22-24 range.
