The Tennessee Titans bolstered its secondary on Thursday, as veteran safety Jamal Adams agreed to a one-year deal to play in Nashville in 2024. 

ESPN first reported the deal, and the Titans announced it later in the day.

Adams spent the past four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, but he was released on March 5 and has been sitting in the free agent pool ever since. 

Tennessee does have Amani Hooker and Elijah Molden on its roster already at safety, but Adams is expected to compete for one of those starting jobs later this month when training camp begins.

Adams, a seven-year veteran, was once the league’s highest-paid safety after he signed a four-year, $70 million extension with the Seahawks after the New York Jets traded him in 2020. 

The Jets received two first-round picks from Seattle for Adams, who was coming off back-to-back All-Pro seasons with New York.

Adams’ defensive backs coach with the Jets in those seasons, Dennard Wilson, is on Tennessee’s staff.

Adams’ tenure in Seattle started off with a bang in 2020, as he had a career-high 9.5 sacks over 12 games and made second-team All-Pro and yet another Pro Bowl.

But Adams’ production has plummeted since that season, with injuries playing a major role.
