After making his fourth start for one of the league\u2019s worst defenses, Adams was benched due to his continued struggles.<\/p>\n<p>While tackling has notoriously been an issue for the 27-year-old throughout his professional career, his woes reached new heights in 2025, as the safety\u2019s missed-tackle rate skyrocketed to 15.5%, a career high.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, though, he remains a serviceable player in slot coverage. Last season, when covering the slot, Adams allowed three of the eight passes thrown in his direction (37.5%) to be completed for just 10 yards across 29 snaps.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Adams gets an opportunity to rebound in Tennessee under the coach who gave him his first chance in the league.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Free agency has been eventful for the New York Jets.
