RENTON, Wash. -- Anyone worried that the Seattle Seahawks have yet to extend Pro Bowl strong safety Jamal Adams this late into the offseason need look no further for reassurance than the trade they made last summer to acquire him.
The package the Seahawks gave the New York Jets included a pair of first-round picks as well as a third-rounder, an uncommonly steep price they would never have paid if they only planned on Adams being a one- or two-year rental.
Or, you could just take it from coach Pete Carroll.
