The Jets waived Adams (illness) without an injury designation Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams ended the 2022 campaign on the reserve/non-football illness list, but he appears to be healthy heading into the summer. The 2017 fifth-round pick has appeared in just one NFL contest (2021 with Chicago) and failed to haul in his lone target across nine offensive snaps. He'll likely have to settle for a practice-squad gig in 2023 if he hopes to keep his NFL dreams alive.

The Jets cut Adams on Monday with a non-football illness designation, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams had linked a reserve/future deal with the Jets back in January, but he will now need to search for an opportunity elsewhere once fully healthy. He spent most of the 2021 season on Chicago's practice squad and appeared in one game with the team.

Adams was waived by the Jets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Adams inked a reserve/future contract with the Jets in January after he spent most of last season on the Bears' practice squad. A former fifth-round selection of the Vikings in 2017, Adams appeared in one game last season and failed to catch his lone target. In a corresponding move, the Jets re-signed fellow wideout D.J. Montgomery.

The Jets signed Adams to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams spent most of the season on the Bears' practice squad and was targeted just once in his lone regular-season appearance. He'll now attempt to carve out a role with the Jets during the offseason.

Adams was reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, failing to draw a target. With Allen Robinson (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot) expected back soon, there wasn't any room for Adams on the active roster.

Adams failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After an impressive training camp, it took injuries to Allen Robinson (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot) to see his first action of the season. Unless his role in the offense grows significantly, his fantasy value will be minimal.

Adams was elevated to the active roster from the Bears' practice squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was waived by the Bears after spending all of training camp with the team, and he has since been a member of the practice squad. With Marquise Goodwin (foot) out and Allen Robinson (hamstring) doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adams is set to make his regular-season debut. He should be expected to play primarily on special teams.

The Bears waived Adams on Wednesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams had a solid preseason and displayed chemistry with Justin Fields, so the Bears will likely consider adding him to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 2017 fifth-round pick is still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut.

Adams caught three passes for 15 yards in the Bears' 27-24 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With tight end Jesper Horsted being the only Chicago receiver with more than 19 yards, the 15 yards Adams posted was mostly due to Justin Fields throwing short passes during the first half. On his fourth target, Adams made a leaping catch, but replay overturned it. After showing solid chemistry with Fields in each preseason game, it would appear that Adams has a realistic chance of making the regular-season roster.
