The Minnesota Vikings sign veteran defensive back and linebacker Jamal Adams ahead of training camp. Multiple outlets report Adams, 30, announces the move on social media, including a post referencing “Year 10” and the Vikings’ “skol” hashtag. Adams has spent much of his career in the defensive backfield after entering the NFL with the New York Jets, where he earned first-team All-Pro recognition and became a three-time Pro Bowler. Last season, he plays for the Las Vegas Raiders after transitioning to linebacker, appearing in 17 games and recording 448 defensive snaps. With Minnesota, the team is expected to use Adams in a depth role while he provides positional flexibility across the secondary and linebacker positions. Some reporting connects the signing to uncertainty around the Vikings’ safety group, including speculation about Harrison Smith’s potential retirement, but the overall description across sources emphasizes Adams’ versatility and ability to contribute on defense. The deal comes on the eve of camp, with Adams joining coach Brian Flores’ defense as teams continue shaping their roster ahead of the 2026 season.
