The Titans released former All-Pro safety Jamal Adams after three appearances

A former All-Pro is heading to free agency in mid-October.

Safety Jamal Adams requested and received his release from the Titans on Thursday, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported, according to sources. ESPN first reported the news.

The team later announced Adams' release.

Adams played just three games for Tennessee in 2024, his first season with the team, recording four tackles while playing just 20 total defensive snaps. Pro Football Focus gave Adams a cut-worthy grade for those 20 snaps, giving him a grade of 49.8, including an ugly coverage grade of 37.7 (in six coverage snaps).

The sample size is incredibly small, but speaks to Adams' decline as an NFL safety. A three-time All-Pro with the Jets and Seahawks (two second-team selections, one first-team selection), Adams went from a promising, hard-hitting former first-round pick to a player who struggled to stay healthy over the last two seasons in Seattle, where he played a total of 10 games from 2022 to 2023.

Understandably, the Seahawks parted ways with him in 2024 and let him work elsewhere. He signed a one-year contract with Tennessee in July, but missed the season opener due to another injury and landed on the reserve/non-football injured list before the Titans' Week 6 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
