Early Thursday, the Tennessee Titans released former Pro Bowl S Jamal Adams after his short stint on the reserve/non-football injury list.
Adams, who signed with the Titans in July, was never able to make the impact on the field that the team envisioned when signing him to a one-year deal. Injuries buried him on the depth chart, and he was limited to 20 defensive snaps in three games.
Even with his minimal production on the field, Adams’ presence will continue to be felt even after his release. As S Quandre Diggs points out, Adams is the main reason he signed with Tennessee this offseason, and Diggs is a major contributor to the Titans’ defense.

“It sucks that he’s not here anymore,” Diggs said, “He’s the reason I came here.”
While he didn’t go into specifics about Adams’s plans moving forward, it was clear that Adams was frustrated with the situation in Tennessee and that the rift between him and the organization could not be repaired. The Titans signed Tre Avery on Tuesday to take Adams’s open roster spot and add secondary depth.
