Ben Maller: “Did the Seahawks make a fatal mistake in trading away all those draft picks for Jamal Adams? It didn’t seem like it at the time but now that we’ve watched half the season play out I think you’d say ‘Does a Zebra have stripes?’ YES. The Seahawks dug into the batter’s box and swung from the heels trying to hit a home run to the moon with this transaction. It was obviously an impulse purchase. Jamal Adams was stuck in a football Siberia wasteland with the Jets, and Pete Carroll thought he could save Jamal Adams the embarrassment of wearing that green and white clown costume. You have to pay him a decent contract down the line, and you also have to give up a premium in Draft capital. He was supposed to be the missing jigsaw puzzle piece, but that has backfired. This has turned out to be a debacle, and I don’t know how you get out of it. Maybe the Jets traded an imposter or a Jamal Adams lookalike.” (Full Audio Above)

Check out the audio above as Maller details how big of a debacle this trade has become, as even Adams and player coach Pete Carroll are already butting heads.
