The Minnesota Vikings have signed linebacker Jamal Adams to a one-year deal, finalizing the agreement on Tuesday morning. Adams, a former Seattle Seahawks defender, embarks on his sixth NFL team. His prior stints were marked by injuries, although he set a record for sacks by a defensive back while with the Seahawks. The Vikings' new general manager, Nolan Teasley, previously worked in Seattle during Adams' tenure there, contributing to the familiarity.
