Vikings sign Jamal Adams amid questions about Harrison Smith's future

The Minnesota Vikings signed Jamal Adams, a three-time Pro Bowler, overnight on July 28, 2026, after his season with the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams, who played all 17 games last season with 45 tackles, now raises questions about his performance and versatility due to previous injuries. His signing has led to speculation about the future of Harrison Smith, but sources indicate Adams’ role will remain independent of Smith's decision on retirement. Adams primarily played linebacker last season and will add depth to the Vikings' defense.
