Should the Seattle Seahawks Embrace Jamal Adams Reunion?

In addition to his difficulty staying on the field, Adams angered fans and members of the media with his antics on the sidelines and on social media. In addition to several run-ins with independent neurologists last season, he also drew ire for publishing an inflammatory post about the wife of Jets reporter Connor Hughes and having a few locker-room blowups with members of the media.

Given these issues and the fact that Adams, despite reportedly being healthy, has barely played for a 1-4 Titans squad, the skepticism about his suitability for a second tour in Seattle is understandable. But the timing of his release ironically coincides with the Seahawks being without starting big man Rayshaw Jenkins for at least the next four weeks due to a broken hand, giving him a viable opportunity to return and contribute to coach Mike Macdonald's defense.

Additionally, the Seahawks remained in contact with Adams throughout the offseason after releasing him in hopes of bringing him back as a situational linebacker. Not wanting that option at the time, he decided to sign with the Titans, but the vacancy at strong safety without Jenkins opens the door for him to return and immediately play a far more prominent role as a sub-package player Can pitch on defense, tight ends, support a porous run defense and blitz in an aggressive scheme.

Would an Adams reunion make sense for the Seahawks and the player as they near the halfway point of the 2024 season? Check out our latest video above in which Corbin Smith and Connor Benintendi discuss the pros and cons of such an opportunity and consider whether general manager John Schneider should consider signing the veteran defenseman to replace Jenkins.
