Adams was released by the Seahawks on March 5 in a cost-cutting move, as he was due a base salary of $16.5 million in 2024, according to Spotrac. Last season, Adams was limited to just nine starts due to a concussion, recording 48 tackles. Over his career, the 2017 first-round pick (sixth overall) has tallied 494 tackles, 21.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles, and four interceptions in 80 games (all starts) with the Jets (2017-19) and Seahawks (2020-23).

Adams had a standout first season with Seattle in 2020, recording 9.5 sacks.
