Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon is once again taking advantage of the late stages of summer free agency, using the weeks before training camp begins to sign safety Jamal Adams.

Adams, 28, has signed a one-year deal with the Titans after spending the past four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He was drafted No. 6 overall by the New York Jets in 2017, was an All-Pro in 2019 and is a three-time Pro Bowl selection (2018-20).

He played three seasons with the Jets before they traded him to the Seahawks in July 2020 in a package that included two first-round picks. He will be working again with new Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who was the Jets' defensive backs coach from 2017 to 2020.

Adams has a career 494 tackles, 21.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles and four interceptions. In Seattle, he became the league's highest-paid safety at the time when he signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension in 2021. But while with the Seahawks, he missed 33 (out of 67) regular-season games and has suffered from numerous injuries, including a groin injury, torn labrum, torn quadriceps tendon and a concussion. Seattle released him in March.

Adams joins an already impressive group of free agent acquisitions for 2024. The Titans opened free agency in March by signing players like receiver Calvin Ridley, running back Tony Pollard, center Lloyd Cushenberry III, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie and linebacker Kenneth Murray II, as well as trading for cornerback L'Jarius Sneed.

The Titans made another key move before the start of OTAs to add receiver Tyler Boyd and solidified their offensive and defensive lines with first- and second-round draft picks JC Latham and T'Vondre Sweat.

This is the second consecutive year the Titans have reeled in a big-name player in July. Last year, Carthon signed a deal with receiver DeAndre Hopkins right before the start of training camp. Hopkins plugged in as a starter immediately and put together a 1,000-yard campaign as the Titans' leading receiver despite missing most of the team's offseason program.

Titans players report for training camp on July 23, with the first game of the preseason coming on Aug. 10.
