Overview
- Jamal Adams agreed to a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings worth a reported just over $1.2 million and will remain at linebacker.
- Vikings coaches expect Adams to compete for rotational snaps behind starters Blake Cashman and Eric Wilson rather than take an immediate full-time job.
- Adams completed a 2025 position change with the Las Vegas Raiders, playing all 17 games and recording 45 tackles, five tackles for loss and one sack, which helped revive his value after injury setbacks earlier in his career.
- Adams announced the signing on social media Monday, and team and national outlets reported the low-risk deal as Minnesota opened training camp.
- The addition reunites Adams with front-office contacts and gives Brian Flores a versatile, blitz-capable veteran to deploy in pressure packages or dime looks while the Vikings continue discussions about Harrison Smith’s possible return.
