Report: Seahawks' Adams agreed to play 2020 under current contract

The Seattle Seahawks and Jamal Adams agreed that the recently acquired safety will play the 2020 campaign under his existing rookie contract, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Adams was traded to Seattle in a blockbuster deal on Saturday for a package that includes a pair of first-round picks. He agreed to the terms prior to being dealt, according to Pelissero.

There are two seasons remaining on the All-Pro defender's rookie contract after the New York Jets exercised his fifth-year option. He'll earn $3.59 million this season and $9.86 million in 2021 if Adams doesn't sign a long-term extension next year.

The two-time Pro Bowler was lobbying for an extension from the Jets all offseason that would have made him the league's highest-paid safety. He repeatedly voiced his frustration over the time it was taking to receive an offer.

The 24-year-old was drafted sixth overall in 2017. He amassed 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and one interception in 2019, and the defensive chess piece now joins an improved Seahawks secondary.
