It took longer than some expected, but former LSU safety [autotag]Jamal Adams[/autotag] has found his home for the 2024 NFL season. On Thursday, Adams signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans.
The 28-year-old was once seen as a rising star in the league, but injuries and middling play have diminished his standing as he went unsigned for most of the free agency period.
A former All-SEC and All-American player at LSU, Adams was the sixth overall pick in 2017. He immediately became a star for the New York Jets, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2018 and 2019. He was named an All-Pro in both campaigns, including First-Team honors in the latter.
He was traded to the Seahawks ahead of 2020 amid contract disputes, and while he was a Second-Team All-Pro once again that season, earning a four-year extension, he played in just 22 games over the next three years — including just nine in 2023 — and was released by the team following the 2023 season.
Adams’ talent is undeniable, but he has struggled to stay on the field in recent years. If he can do that with Tennessee this season, he’s young enough to get back to high-level play.
