Jamal Adams has a new home.
The seven-year veteran has agreed to a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to multiple reports. Adams spent the past four season with the Seattle Seahawks prior to his release on March 5th.
Adams will compete for one of the starting spots which are currently held by Amani Hooker and Elijah Molden when training camp opens later this month.
The Seahawks traded two first-round picks to acquire Adams from the New York Jets in 2020 and then made him the NFL’s highest-paid safety a year later with a four-year, $70 million extension.
Adams, 28, made his third straight Pro Bowl during his debut season with the Seahawks while setting a record for defensive backs with 9.5 sacks, but he hasn’t recorded a sack since then.
Over four years in Seattle, Adams missed 33 of a possible 67 regular-season games. He recorded 9.5 sacks (all in 2020), 19 quarterback hits, 22 tackles for loss, 11 passes defended and two interceptions.
The sixth overall pick by the Jets in 2017, Adams has 494 tackles, 21.5 sacks, 7 forced fumbles and 4 interceptions in his career. He was twice named to the Pro Bowl while a member of the Jets (2018, 2019) and was a first-team All Pro in 2019, when current Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson was his defensive backs coach.
