Titans grant Jamal Adams' request for release

Why it matters: The Titans have agreed to release safety Jamal Adams, allowing him to seek a new opportunity where he can contribute on the field.

  • Adams signed a one-year deal with the Titans in July after being released by the Seattle Seahawks.
  • He joined the Titans to reunite with defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who coached him during his time with the New York Jets.

What's new: Adams played limited snaps in three games with the Titans, and his frustration grew when he was given only one snap against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4.

Yes, but: Adams clarified that his request for release was not solely due to wanting to be a starter but rather seeking an opportunity to contribute.

The bottom line: The primary issue cited by the Titans was Adams' lack of practice time due to a hip injury he sustained during training camp. Adams stated that he is now healthy and ready to make an impact with his next team.

  • Jamal Adams: "I wasn't frustrated about not being a starter, I just wanted an opportunity to contribute."
  • Team source: "The primary issue was a lack of practice. Adams missed extensive time during training camp due to a hip injury."

What's next: With his release granted, Adams will now explore options with other teams that can provide him the platform he desires to make a meaningful contribution on the field.
