Football fans across the league are still shocked at the trade the Seattle Seahawks made to add safety Jamal Adams from the New York Jets in continued efforts to improve a defense that has seen its performance slide in recent seasons.

That’s not to say that Tre Flowers, Shaquill Griffin, Quandre Diggs and Bradley McDougald are bad players, simply that they aren’t currently the caliber of players with which the Legion of Boom was filled for much of the last decade.
