According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Jamal Adams and the Seahawks have agreed to terms on a four-year, $70 million contract extension.
According to reports, the contract includes a $38 million guarantee, making him the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the contract may be worth up to $72 million over four years, with club and individual performance bonuses.
Adams, 25, was in the final year of his rookie contract, with a fifth-year option for $9.86 million this season.
While talks progressed, Adams, one of Seattle’s most important defensive playmakers, sat off practice.
In 2020, he set the NFL record for sacks by a defensive back with 9.5 in just 12 games.
Despite missing four games due to a groin injury, he still managed 83 total tackles and a forced fumble.
He was selected to his third Pro Bowl and was named to the All-Pro Second Team for the second year in a row.
