The NFC Team New Orleans Saints have been linked to $70 million free agency and former Seattle Seahawk safety Jamal Adams, according to rumours. Along with Bobby Wagner, the LSU product was among the last of the “Legion of Boom” era. However, he enjoyed remarkable success with the New York Jets before being traded to Seattle, where he was one of the league’s top safeties. Wherever he ends up, he will be a backup until he can earn his way back into a starting position.
The safety has suffered many injuries this season, so it will be some time before he is fit to play. Adams appeared in only 10 games for the Seattle Seahawks during the last two seasons. However, if a team can use him to his full potential, he still has a lot of energy remaining in the tank. According to reports, Adams excels in playing close to the line of scrimmage rather than deep coverage.
Tyrann Mathieu of the Saints might remain the primary deep threat to the other team’s wide receivers. They do have Johnathan Abram, who performed admirably in Marcus Maye’s absence due to injury. The problem is that Abram isn’t a surefire starter yet and would need someone like Adams to continue mentoring him. The Saints may engage Adams on a one-year budget contract until he can improve his output enough to join a contender in 2025.
New Orleans could be the key to launching his career. Adams may have to be a backup until the team needs him as a starter. He should find a new team shortly after this year’s draft.
The New Orleans Saints, an NFC team, have been linked to $70 million free agent Jamal Adams.
The team will continue to add depth.
The Saints were able to re-sign both safeties, including Ugo Amadi on a one-year agreement. It appears that the franchise wants to maintain its players, but they should first navigate this year’s draft before considering free agency. However, there is still some skill available for the team to choose as a quick, low-cost veteran. It’s small, but it’s something the club can work through if the new draftee isn’t ready for week one.
The Saints have only two free agent options: Adams and Justin Simmons, a former Denver Bronco. However, speculations suggest that Simmons is leaning toward signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. Only New Orleans has a legitimate chance of getting the LSU product home to play alongside Mathieu. It’s worth noting that the Saints may choose to focus on cornerback rather than safety.
The Saints will want to avoid having their starting safety, Maye, injured again. New Orleans might get fancy and consider former Dallas Cowboys player Stephon Gilmore. However, there are rumours that he may hold a homecoming reunion this season.
