 signed 10th-year veteran Jamal Adams to bolster their depth at the beginning of training camp on Tuesday, adding a safety-turned-linebacker with pass-rushing skill for defensive coordinator Brian Flores to work with.

Adams, the sixth overall pick in the 2017 draft, made three Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro in 2019 with the New York Jets. He has been an excellent blitzer who set the 

 season record for sacks by a defensive back (9½) in 2020 after being traded to the Seattle Seahawks. Injuries have derailed him since then, with Minnesota becoming his fifth team in four years. Adams severely tore his quadriceps in the 2022 season opener in Seattle.

Adams, who transitioned to linebacker in a part-time role last year with the Las Vegas Raiders, has 55 tackles for loss, 22½ sacks, eight forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and four interceptions in his career.

The Vikings also signed running back Jordan Mims, who was most recently with the San Francisco 49ers.
