Jamal Adams is one of the best defensive players in the NFL, and every team would love to have a player like him.
Acquiring him, however, is an entirely different matter.
Adams requested a traded from the New York Jets this week in the midst of a contract dispute with the team. He is entering the fourth year of his rookie contract, which will pay him approximately $3.6 million this coming season, and also had his fifth-year option picked up, which will pay him $9.9 million in 2021. He reportedly wants to be the highest-paid safety in the NFL, and has the 49ers on his shortlist of desired destinations.
