CelebNSports247.com reports that still on his rookie contract, Jamal Adams might well be ready to cash-in on his performances this year, in particular, the past two weeks where he has five sacks and 13 total tackles.

The 25-year-old Texas native Jamal Adams is an incredible NFL player and easy on the eyes as well.

Jason Fitzgerald of OverTheCap.com had this to say about the strong safety hunk:

Adams will wind up the highest-paid safety in the NFL and I would say that he will likely hit, at the least, the $15 million per year mark.

He adds:

It is possible that Adams could reach higher as he has two things going for him. One is that Adams might try to justify a higher number by arguing that the Jets made C.J. Mosley the highest-paid linebacker by a wide margin this past offseason and that he should have the same value (around $17 million). There could be some merit to that approach since the contract team is the same group that negotiated the big deals this offseason even if the general manager is different. This would likely be where we would find out how much of a hands-on approach [general manager Joe] Douglas will take with the contract side of the team or not.

SI points out, that $15 million number brought up by Fitzgerald would eclipse the average annual contract earning for prominent safeties such as the Tennessee Titans Kevin Byard ($14.1 million), the Kansas City Chiefs Tyrann Mathieu ($14 million) and Washington’s Landon Collins ($14 million).
