LOS ANGELES: The Seattle Seahawks have made Jamal Adams one of the highest paid positional players in the NFL, signing the former first-round draft pick to a multi-million dollar contract extension on Tuesday, the Seattle Times reported. The 25-year-old Texan is now the league's best paid safety after striking a four-year deal with the Seahawks that will pay him $70 million, including $38 million which is guaranteed. Adams has been in contract talks with Seattle since they acquired him from the New York Jets at the end of last season for a number of draft picks. The sixth overall pick in the 2017 NFL entry draft had 9.5 sacks, one forced fumble and 83 tackles for the Jets in 2020.
