Vikings Sign Jamal Adams

Is this dude a safety or lb?
Might mean Harry made up his mind?
Much tread left? I know he’s had a nasty injury history. We’ll be interesting to see terms.

My first thought was now we know about Harry.

Schultz followed up the tweet with this:

"Jamal Adams liked the opportunity to have a chance to earn a role with a Brian Flores defense, which has a history of utilizing players like him…"

Pace is still on his rookie contract. He's cheap depth. Unless the team has determined that there's no role for him whatsoever, I would be surprised if he's released.

True, but Adams is likely even cheaper at this point. This may mean Golday is shifting over to the Edge group instead of ILB? I don't see the team keeping 5 ILB, and behind Turner and AVG all our edges are UDFAs.

Great pick up. Personally, I love to see veterans like him brought in to round out the team. They are often championship focused and obviously it’s a league where experience really matters. If there’s any coach I’ve ever seen better than BFlo at putting guys in a position to succeed, I can’t think of them. It’s an ideal fit all around, I just hope for health as usual. I love love love this kind of acquisition.

It's a move that looks and feels like it was driven by good olde football acumen...I luv it too

My guess is the coaching staff is still bent about Bears kickoff return,

It appears Pace and Keys went off script and it cost the Vikings the game and likely a playoff birth. That's a massive ripple effect. Keys has already been sent packing

IMO KOC and staff have had enough of it.

I'd bet $$$$ that the common denominator on most the personnel changes that occurred this off season was that the players weren't executing what they were told to do.
