According to Art Stapleton of The Record, the Washington Commanders have asked for permission to talk with Mike Adams, the New York Giants’ assistant special teams coordinator, about the post.
Adams recently finished his first season on the Giants coaching staff and was retained by head coach Brian Daboll, who fired special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey after the season ended. Adams was an undrafted free agent out of Delaware who had a successful NFL career as a safety.
He joined with the 49ers in 2004 and played for them until 2006. He subsequently spent the 2007-2011 season with the Browns before heading to Denver in 2012-2013 and then to the Colts in 2014, where he earned two Pro Bowl selections. Adams, a native of Paterson, New Jersey, ended his NFL career with stints with the Panthers (2017-2018) and Texans (2019). He concluded his 16-year career with 228 games played and 149 starts, totaling 935 tackles, 90 pass breakups, 30 interceptions, 15 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, and 13 forced fumbles.
He also appeared in 10 postseason games, including eight starts, including the Broncos’ Super Bowl XLVIII loss to Seattle at MetLife Stadium. Adams made his NFL coaching debut in 2021 as the Bears’ assistant defensive backs coach. He worked as a coaching intern for the Giants last summer. He recently worked as the special teams coordinator for the American squad at the Senior Bowl.
