Aug 19, 2021 10:04 AM

After five months of negotiations, the Seattle Seahawks have finally agreed to a contract extension with Jamal Adams.

The safety's mother pushed the deal through when she sent her son a text message Monday night from back home in Dallas.

"She said my full name, and when my mother says my full name, I think I need to pay attention," Adams said. "She gave me a nice little paragraph and basically just told me that you don't have to prove anything else to anybody. You did enough. We're happy. As long as my family's happy and I'm happy, I can come and do what I love to do, that's all that matters to me."

Adams can make as much as $72 million over four years under the new deal. He is now the NFL's highest-paid safety. He will receive a $20 million signing bonus and $38 million guaranteed.
