The Seattle Seahawks made some major salary cap decisions earlier this week, releasing (among others) starting safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs to free up space ahead of free agency. There has been heavy scrutiny of the Adams trade, which was costly in terms of both draft capital used and the market-setting contract that made Jamal (briefly) the NFL’s highest-paid safety.
In his weekly radio appearance on Seattle Sports 710, Seahawks general manager John Schneider lamented the injuries that Adams suffered throughout his time with the team, but also defended how much they gave up to get him from the New York Jets.
