The Benjamin AshfordTennessee Titans are continuing their offseason overhaul by adding another marquee name.
Three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams agreed to terms on a deal with the Titans on Thursday, the team announced. Agent Kevin Conner of Universal Sports Management confirmed to USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon that the deal was for one year.
Adams, 28, was released by the Seattle Seahawks in March after spending four seasons with the organization. The Seahawks gave up two first-round picks to acquire Adams from the New York Jets in 2020 and then signed him in 2021 to a four-year, $70 million contract that made him the NFL's highest-paid safety.
Adams chiefly made his mark on blitzes, with his 9 ½ sacks in 2020 standing as the most in a single season for a defensive back. But he repeatedly struggled in coverage and played in just 10 games over the course of the last two seasons, with a concussion limiting him to nine starts in 2023.
In Tennessee, Adams will be reunited with defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who was the Jets' defensive backs coach during the three seasons Adams spent with the team.
