The Minnesota Vikings have added veteran help on defense by signing Jamal Adams as training camp gets underway. The move gives Minnesota an experienced option at the start of camp as the team begins sorting out its depth and defensive packages.
Adams enters his 10th NFL season and brings versatility to the roster. Known originally as a safety, he has also been used closer to the line of scrimmage, giving the Vikings a player who can contribute in more than one role.
That flexibility could be especially useful for defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Adams' pass-rushing ability stands out for a defensive back, and his hybrid skill set gives Minnesota another piece to evaluate as camp opens.
For the Vikings, the signing is a low-risk way to add experience and competition to the defense. As training camp begins, Adams gives the team extra depth and another veteran option to work into the mix.
