2026 Outlook
Jamal Adams joins the Vikings as a veteran pass-rusher who switched from safety to linebacker in 2025 with the Raiders. Under Brian Flores' flexible 3-4 scheme, Adams' role remains unclear—he could play safety, linebacker, or both. His career-arc suggests he's in decline (earned more than $71M over nine years but has been rotating through teams: Jets, Seahawks, Titans, Lions, Raiders), but his versatility fits a scheme that values position flexibility. Fantasy impact depends on whether he plays a defined role or remains a rotational piece (per Jamal Adams joins the Vikings).
