The New England Patriots are exploring the possibility of signing linebacker Jamal Adams in free agency, according to reports. Following several off-season moves, including the additions of A.J. Brown and K.J. Britt, the Patriots are looking to further enhance their linebacker unit. Adams had a challenging year with the Las Vegas Raiders after switching positions from safety to linebacker, but his physical play style could provide the team with much-needed tenacity.
