To that essentially for a season that will net the expected income/profits for the NFL and owners is worse.
To before a year that has the threat of never being completed is worst.

It's basically Murphy/Sod/Finagle's/Melody's law: "Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment" for Yannick.

I agree with you, but, the fact that the Seahawks are giving up the draft picks AND they have to sign Adams to a long term deal makes me a little more open to the idea that we might be able to deal Ngakoue for more than I thought.  

The Jets and Adams were in the exact same situation the Jaguars and Ngakoue are in, and the Jets managed to make a pretty good deal.

I think Seattle gave up too much. 2 firsts plus a 3rd and a big contract extension looming?
They are banking big on legion of boom v 2.0 happening this year or next.

Jets made out like a bandit but as others have said... with 2 years remaining Seattle technically has more wiggle room and Adams is probably the best safety in the game right now while Yan is more like 3rd-5th best pass rusher and more of a fringe top 10 all around DE. While the position is more sought after it also carries a larger contract and so I still doubt at this point the Jags are getting the first round pick they desire for Yan.
