The Seattle Seahawks officially have a major problem on their hands.
While the team standing in the NFC West is great and the playoff hopes for this team have never been more real, a problem has been brewing with the most expensive player on this team for a while now, and it finally came to head on Monday night.
The Seahawks have a clear Jamal Adams problem, and the worst part is that it isn't going away anytime soon.
There aren't a lot of problems that are much worse in the modern NFL.
Bad players that get paid like bad players is generally easy to overcome. The true issue arises when you have players that fall flat of what they count against on the salary cap.
That is what is happening with Jamal Adams.
Adams is playing like a guy that is making a few million a year, or at least counting against the cap for a few million. In reality, Adams is the most expensive player on the Seahawks and has a dead money hit that indicates he isn't going anywhere.
Why would the Seahawks cut Adams if they have essentially already paid him for next year? Does that truly make any sense?
Due to the nature of the contract and the way the Seahawks are structured, Adams is here to stay, but that doesn't mean he is here to play. After already missing a lot of time during his time in Seattle, a terrible play by Adams mere minutes into his NFL return has put his health in doubt yet again.
"Injury-prone" is one of the last things that you want one of your most recognizable stars to be. Sadly, that is basically the only way to describe Adams for the time being, and his most recent injury was extremely easy to prevent if he just played smarter.
That makes the most recent injury all the more unforgivable, and it just keeps playing in to Adams' moniker of injury-prone.
Until that changes, which seems like a massive "if" at this point, the Seahawks are being held back in a major way by a guy that should be carrying this team forward by himself.
Seahawks’ ailing secondary is set to get much healthier in Week 4
They’ll be in much better shape.
