Jamal Adams is heading to the Minnesota Vikings before training camp after falling out of the Las Vegas Raiders' linebacker plans. His move comes after a busy offseason in which the Raiders reshaped the position group and created a new depth chart.
Las Vegas made major changes at linebacker by bringing in Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean on three-year deals. Those additions signaled a clear reset for the unit and left Adams without a place on the Raiders roster as the team moved in a different direction.
For the Vikings, adding Adams gives the NFC North club another option ahead of camp as teams begin sorting through competition and depth. The timing is notable, with Minnesota making the move before the next phase of preseason preparation ramps up.
The signing also highlights how quickly roster plans can change during the NFL offseason. What began as a Raiders linebacker overhaul has now led Adams to a new opportunity with the Vikings, where he will try to carve out a role going into camp.
