You weren't. It's all good. Adams is a strong safety anyways and Hooker is a free safety. It just got my interest up...until I saw the wage demands and position conflict. Cheers

Jamal is reportedly not only wanting to be the highest paid safety in the league - but he wants to blow the top off of the safety market. He is asking for a contract in excess of $20MM/year. I know that is the opening offer and in the end he will probably settle for much less, but if the Colts offer Adams a contract even in the high teens, it will make it extremely difficult for the Colts to offer the Maniac a long term deal after his rookie contract expires.

Why the Texans? BOB is incompetent. Also, Adams is crazy if he thinks he's getting top tier pass rusher money.

After drafting Khari Willis and Julian Blackmon in consecutive years, I doubt it would be much of a position conflict. In a 2 high shell, Willis could easily play free safety, leaving strong safety for Adams (or Blackmon).

1. Jamal is originally from the state of Texas. He grew up near Dallas. He would be closer to friends and family.

2. "BOB is incompetent" - Exactly for this reason. BOB is a terrible GM. He has been handing out ridiculous contracts. Tunsil got a huge contract on his own without an agent present during the negotiations.

They also have a good young QB and have made the playoffs consistently.

Using INTs to judge pass defense is like using sacks to judge pass rush. It's a good indicator, but also incomplete. Adams also has 25 PDs in 3 years for an average of 9 per year between PDs and INTs. Add in the 6 FFs, 12 sacks, 28 TFL, and 23 QB hits, and Adams seems more like a defensive playmaker than a thumper. To me, that word describes a good run defender who is a liability in pass coverage and offers little else aside from the good run defense. Adams doesn't seem to be that to me.

Good is debatable, let's see how he does without Hopkins.

Landon Collins was supposed to set the market for safeties last year.
When Collins signed a 6 year, $84,000,000 contract with the Washington Redskins, including a $15,000,000 signing bonus, $44,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $14,000,000. Believe he is highest paid safety in league right now. Adams is damn good but not worth $20M per. IMHO

Adams has 25 pds and only two int’s. That doesn’t strike you as low for a defensive playmaker? A defensive playmaker who just doesn’t make those defensive plays in the passing game. I consider Derwin James and Fitzpatrick defensive playmakers, guys that make plays at the los and in the backfield. What Adams seems to be is a guy who needs to play close to the los to make plays and is averaging almost a hundred tackles a season. Sacks, pressures, and tfl’s are great but he seems like a thumper to me. Maybe a lb playing safety. He does certain things well, I just don’t see it as what we need at the moment.

Regardless, whether we perceive him as good/overrated a lot of the players and league think he is a promising young QB.
