Why Did Jamal Adams Come to the Vikings, and What Position Will He Play?
Jamal Adams will earn the veteran minimum as the Vikings evaluate him at safety and linebacker after injuries and a 2025 position switch.
- On July 28, Jamal Adams signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Minnesota Vikings, joining the NFL franchise seeking a fresh start after stints with multiple teams.
- Adams suffered a torn quad tendon during the 2022 season opener with the Seattle Seahawks, missing the rest of that season and struggling with confidence in subsequent years. The injury limited his ability to perform at full speed.
- Signing for the veteran minimum of $1.3 million, Adams told coaches he can play linebacker, safety, corner, nose tackle, or defensive end. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores called him "a football guy" with infectious energy.
- Minnesota general manager Nolan Teasley reunited with Adams, having previously worked with him in Seattle. Teasley pitched the signing based on Adams' skill set and passion for the game.
- Nearly four years after his injury, Adams believes "the sky's the limit" for his time with the Vikings, focusing on proving himself during training camp this week.
