Overview

  • The Raiders officially signed safety Jamal Adams on July 22, 2025, bringing a former No. 6 overall pick into their defensive backfield.
  • Adams reunites with Pete Carroll after four seasons together in Seattle, tapping into an established coach–player rapport.
  • At 29 years old, he arrives in Las Vegas reportedly in the best physical shape he’s been in years.
  • The move definitively closes the door on any potential reunion between Adams and the New York Jets.
  • Adams’ versatility and pass-rush ability as a safety provide veteran depth to a youthful secondary and address uncertainty at nickelback.
