Three-time Pro Bowler Jamal Adams announced he’s joining the Minnesota Vikings the day before training camp.
Adams announced the move on social media Monday night, saying “Year 10” and the Vikings’ “skol” hashtag.
Adams has played numerous positions throughout his nine-year NFL career, including 17 games at linebacker with the Las Vegas Raiders last season.
Adams was the seventh overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft by the Jets and twice was a Pro Bowler in New York. He was a first-team All-Pro safety in 2019 went to the Pro Bowl again in 2020 with Seattle before struggling with injuries.
Adams played a total of five games with Detroit and Tennessee in 2024.
The Vikings made another move by signing tackle Brian O’Neill to a four-year contract extension. The deal will keep O’Neill in Minnesota through the 2030 season.
A five-time team captain (2021-25), O’Neill was selected by the Vikings in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Pittsburgh and has 120 starts in 124 career games. In 2025, O’Neill started all 14 games in which he appeared.
During the 2024 season, O’Neill started all 17 games, playing 1,100 offensive snaps, the fifth-most snaps played among tackles in the NFL. The two-time Pro Bowler (2021, 2024) only allowed 2.0 sacks, tied for the fourth fewest among all tackles in the NFL that season (minimum 80% block snaps played).
