Jamal Adams Released from Titans Contract Following Request Rumors amid 1-4 Season

Three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams' tenure with the Tennessee Titans didn't last long.

Adams' agents, Kevin Conner and Robert Brown, confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter that the 29-year-old was released on Thursday.

Schefter noted Adams requested his release from the Titans, who are off to a 1-4 start this season.

The Titans signed Adams to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum salary of $1.125 million in July. He became a free agent in March when the Seattle Seahawks released him with two years remaining on the four-year, $70 million extension signed prior to the start of the 2021 season.

Adams told reporters after signing with the Titans that one of the reasons he was released by the Seahawks is because they asked him to move from safety to linebacker, which he didn't want to do.

Adams missed the season opener against the Chicago Bears due to a hip injury. He returned for the next three games, but only played a total of 20 snaps before sitting out Tennessee's Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts due to an ailing hip.

Injuries have derailed Adams after a terrific start to his career. He was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft by the New York Jets and was an immediate starter as a rookie. The LSU alum earned three straight Pro Bowl and All-Pro team selections from 2018 to '20, including first-team honors in 2019.

The Jets traded Adams to the Seahawks prior to the 2020 season in exchange for a package that included two first-round draft picks.

Adams missed at least four games in each of his four seasons with the Seahawks. He played a total of 10 games in his final two years with the club.

Given Adams' ongoing injury concerns, it might take some time for him to land an offer from another club. He can also choose to be selective if he wants to wait for a playoff contender that might need help in the secondary for the stretch run to give him an opportunity.
