Minnesota Vikings sign former All-Pro defender Jamal Adams
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings have signed 30-year-old Jamal Adams ahead of training camp, which begins on August 1. Adams, a three-time Pro Bowler, has transitioned between safety and linebacker during his career, most recently playing with the Las Vegas Raiders. He previously played with general manager Nolan Teasley during their time in Seattle. The Vikings are looking to bolster their defense following the departure of veteran Harrison Smith, and Adams may find snaps at both linebacker and safety as he competes for a role on a crowded depth chart.
