McFadden also wrote about the Baltimore Ravens and University of Maryland athletics for The Baltimore Sun.<\/p>\n HENDERSON, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> on Tuesday signed three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old defensive back will reunite with Raiders coach Pete Carroll, whom he played under for four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Raiders also signed cornerback JT Woods<\/a>, who played in 13 games in two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Adams is entering his ninth season in the league. He was selected by the New York Jets<\/a> with the sixth overall pick of the 2017 draft. In his three seasons (46 games) with the team, Adams made two Pro Bowl appearances and was named first-team All-Pro in 2019.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n Ahead of the 2020 season, Adams was traded to Seattle, where he played in just 34 games because of injury, although he added another Pro Bowl appearance in 2020.<\/p>\n In 2022, he suffered a torn quadriceps tendon in his left leg during the season opener against the Denver Broncos<\/a>. Adams played in nine games in 2023 before he was released in the offseason.<\/p>\n Last year, Adams played in five games with the Tennessee Titans<\/a> and Detroit Lions<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 85 career games, Adams has totaled 501 tackles, 21.5 sacks and 4 interceptions.<\/p>\n This offseason, Las Vegas remodeled its safeties room following the departures of Marcus Epps<\/a> and Tre’von Moehrig<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Raiders signed versatile defensive backs Jeremy Chinn<\/a> and Lonnie Johnson Jr<\/a>. They also retained Isaiah Pola-Mao<\/a>, who started in 14 games during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n During OTAs and minicamp, Chinn and Pola-Mao were the team’s first-team safeties. Occasionally, the Raiders would have all three safeties on the field, as Chinn played closer to the line of scrimmage while Pola-Mao and Johnson were in the back end.<\/p>\n Ahead of the Raiders’ first day of training camp, Carroll said the secondary was an impressive group.<\/p>\n “I’m fired up about the back end. We’re really athletic, fast and big,” Carroll said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan McFaddenJul 22, 2025, 05:21 PM ET CloseRyan McFadden covers the Las Vegas Raiders for ESPN’s NFL Nation.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-29776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
