Josh Adams is returning to the Jets in 2021.
According to The Athletic’s Connor Hughes, the Jets are re-signing Adams to a one-year deal. Adams was a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Jets chose not to tender him.
Adams has been with the Jets since 2019 and has primarily been on the practice squad. He’s appeared in 11 games over two years and rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Adams also had 29 receiving yards.
Adams was signed as a free agent by the Eagles after going undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2018. He played in 14 games with five starts in his rookie season. Adams rushed for 511 yards, three touchdowns and had 58 receiving yards.
With Adams back in the fold, the Jets have four running backs on the roster. The other three are La’Mical Perine, Ty Johnson and Pete Guerriero.
