According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free-agent safety Jamal Adams will sign with the Lions. He'll be added to the practice squad. However, Schefter indicated that there's an "idea he'll be elevated to Detroit's roster." The multi-time Pro Bowler agreed to a contract with the Titans in July. But he played sparingly in Tennessee and was released in October. Adams has appeared in 83 regular-season games for the Jets, Seahawks, and Titans throughout his career, totaling 498 tackles with 21.5 sacks and four interceptions. Granted, he is no longer the player he once was. Still, his presence will at least add another veteran voice for a team looking to win a Super Bowl.
The Tennessee Titans are honoring Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams' (hip) request for his release, according to a source. Adams is fully healthy and is now looking forward to another opportunity with a new team in 2024. The Titans placed Adams on the Non-Football Injury list last weekend due to a hip injury that he had been dealing with all season, but he's apparently recovered from that and is hoping to prove to other teams that he's ready to go. In addition to his injury, the 29-year-old three-time Pro Bowler was frustrated with his role in Tennessee in the three games that he played, seeing just 20 total defensive snaps. The former sixth overall pick by the New York Jets in 2017 out of LSU has battled injuries his entire career and hasn't played in a full season since 2018, his second year in the league.
The Tennessee Titans have officially ruled out safety Jamal Adams (hip) for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Week 1. The writing was on the wall for Adams to be out for the season opener when he missed his second straight practice on Thursday. The 28-year-old oft-injured defensive back apparently wasn't able to get back on the field on Friday. Adams missed most of training camp this summer due to soreness in his hip and will need more time to get ready for the 2024 campaign. He's no longer on the fantasy radar in IDP leagues as a backup safety for the Titans this year. With Adams ruled out against Chicago, expect rookie Julius Wood to operate as the team's backup strong safety this weekend behind Amani Hooker.
Titans Safety Jamal Adams Expected Back At Practice This Week
Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams is expected to return to practice for joint sessions against Seattle this week. Adams, who previously dealt with a knee injury in Seattle, has been sidelined with soreness, though it's unclear if it's related to his past issue. The Seahawks released him in May after he played just 10 regular-season games over the past two seasons. Adams joined the Titans in July and could start the 2024 season as their strong safety. Adams was selected sixth overall in the 2017 NFL draft, and will significant experience to the Titans' secondary. Current Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson coached him during his time with the New York Jets. The Titans strengthened their secondary this offseason by trading for former Chiefs standout L'Jarius Sneed and signing Chidobe Awuzie from the Cowboys and Bengals, respectively. With Adams now on board, the Titans are poised to form one of the NFL's most formidable secondaries.
Veteran free-agent safety Jamal Adams is signing with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The three-time Pro Bowler was released by the Seattle Seahawks this offseason after he played in just 10 games over the last two years. Adams, who was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Jets out of LSU, has racked up 494 tackles, 21.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles, four interceptions, 36 pass deflections, and 40.5 run stuffs through his first 80 games. When healthy, Adams is an aggressive and violent tackler who often makes plays near the line of scrimmage. He could get run at safety alongside Amani Hooker and Elijah Molden and mix into the linebacker rotation with Kenneth Murray and Jack Gibbens in 2024 under new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson.
Former Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams is visiting with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday. The Seahawks released Adams in March after he suffered yet another injury in 2023 that limited him to just nine games played. The 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by Seattle in 2017 out of LSU made the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons from 2018-20 but hasn't played in a full season since his second year in the league in 2018 due to injuries. When he was healthy earlier in his career with the Jets, Adams was the most valuable defensive back in IDP leagues because of his elite tackling ability and pass-rushing skills. All of his injuries over the years have taken their toll, and he's no longer the elite safety we've come to know him as, although Baltimore would be a nice landing spot as he tries to bounce back in 2024.
The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are among the list of teams that have shown interest in free agent safety Jamal Adams, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. The Seahawks released Adams earlier in the offseason, but general manager John Schneider didn't rule out the possibility of re-signing him. Now, Condotta notes that Seattle has "legitimate" interest, though they'll have to compete with the Niners and other teams. The three-time Pro Bowler has struggled to stay healthy lately, playing in just 10 games over his last two seasons and registering 51 tackles during that span.
Jets Have "Zero" Interest In Reunion With Jamal Adams
The New York Jets have "zero" interest in a reunion with recently released safety Jamal Adams, according to multiple sources, despite social-media rumblings that Adams wants to return to the Jets. Adams finished last season with a Pro Football Focus grade of 54.9, which ranked 95th among safeties who played 20 percent of their team's snaps. The former first-rounder has four interceptions in 80 career games and has become an injury liability as well. The 28-year-old Adams played in only nine games in 2023 in his fourth and final year with the Seattle Seahawks and had 48 tackles (34 solo) and two passes defensed. Adams was a Pro Bowler three straight years from 2018-20, but he's played in just 10 games the last two years and has become untrustworthy in IDP fantasy formats.
The Seattle Seahawks are releasing three-time Pro Bowl safeties Jamal Adams (knee) and Quandre Diggs on Tuesday, according to sources. The moves save the team $27.5 million in cash on this year's salary cap and will give Seattle's secondary a much different look this year under new head coach Mike MacDonald. Adams, 28, who played in only nine games in 2023 due to injury, was going to make a non-guaranteed $16.5 million this year and count $26.9 million against the salary cap. The former first-rounder in 2017 has game-changing defensive abilities as a safety, but he's become too big of an injury concern as he approaches his 30s. Diggs, 30, has been a Pro Bowler four times in his career (from 2020-22) remained productive in 2023 with a career-high 95 tackles (63 solo) and an interception in 17 starts.
Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. The star safety won't be available for the final two games of the regular season. Adams has been dealing with a lingering knee issue for quite some time. The Seahawks finally decided it was time to shut him down and let him get back to full health. The expectation is that Julian Love will see more playing time in the secondary for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
