The Jaguars released Adams on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jacksonville signed Adams off the 49ers' practice squad late in 2021 after a number of the Jaguars linebackers went on the COVID-19 list. He only appeared in two games, but he was re-signed via a one-year deal in March. However, he won't make the initial 53-man roster in 2022. The veteran linebacker recorded 125 tackles in 2020, but he hasn't registered more than 20 in any other campaign.

Adams signed a one-year deal with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams was signed by the Jaguars off the 49ers' practice squad at the end of December and appeared in two games for Jacksonville down the stretch. He played exclusively on special teams and totaled three tackles and two forced fumbles during his time with the Jaguars. He figures to garner a similar role during the 2022 season.

The Jaguars signed Adams to their active roster from the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Jaguars currently have eight linebackers away from the team due to COVID-19 protocols, so Adams will provide insurance in case any of them are ruled out for Week 17. The 29-year-old linebacker made five appearances for San Francisco this season, playing nearly exclusively on special teams.

Adams was one of five players cut by the Bills on Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams at one point seemed to have a decent chance at landing a spot as a primary backup to starter Tremaine Edmunds, but the Bills place a heavy emphasis on special teams ability from their backups, and guys like Tyler Matakevich and Marquel Lee have Adams beat there.

Adams, signed to a one-year deal by the Bills this offseason, will be one of several linebackers fighting for a roster spot, Jason Wolf of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolf surmises that four linebackers are locks for spots -- Tremaine Edmunds, Matt Milano, A.J. Klein and special teams stud Tyler Matakevich -- and from there it will be Adams and several others competing for one or two final spots. Adams probably has the best pedigree of the others -- he's played in the league for five seasons and posted 125 total tackles last season -- and has a similar skill set to Milano, who's fought frequent injuries in his career. Tyrel Dodson, Andre Smith, Joe Giles-Harris, Marquel Lee and Mike Bell are the others up for those 1-2 spots, with Dodson offering a good amount of experience in the Bills' system.

Adams agreed to a contract with the Bills on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2020 after Benardrick McKinney's season-ending shoulder injury thrust him into the starting lineup Week 4. While playing a near every-down role through the final 12 games of the year, Adams ended his third season with the Texans with a career-best 125 tackles (76 solo) plus two sacks and four pass breakups. Adams should get every chance to earn a consistent role in Buffalo, but he's unlikely to repeat every-down usage going forward. In that case, he won't be a lock for high-end fantasy production in IDP formats.

Adams will become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

EDGE Analysis

Adams, in his third year in a Texans uniform, exploded in 2020 when he took over at inside linebacker following Benardrick McKinney's season-ending shoulder injury in Week 4. Adams recorded double-digit tackles in six of 12 starts and finished with 125 tackles, second only to Zach Cunningham. The 28-year-old significantly enhanced his marketability, although there is not a long track record. Prior to 2020, Adams appeared in 21 games over four NFL seasons.

Adams made seven tackles and had one sack in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Adams had a two-game streak of double-digit tackles broken but was able to record his second sack of the season. Since taking over for Benardrick McKinney nine games ago, Adams has averaged 10.3 stops per game.

Adams recorded a team-high 12 tackles in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Adams once again led the Texans in stops, recording double-digit tackles in two straight weeks and five times in the last eight games.

Adams had a team-high 17 tackles, a pass defensed and two forced fumbles in Thursday's 41-25 win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

It was another monster performance for Adams, who recorded his fourth double-digit tackle game in the last seven contests. Meanwhile, both of his forced fumbles led to Houston recoveries. Since taking over for Benardrick McKinney, Adams is averaging 10.6 tackles per game.
