2023 Fantasy Outlook
Staying healthy has been a struggle in Seattle for Adams, and he played just 15 snaps last season before tearing his quadriceps. Head coach Pete Carroll has said that he's hopeful that Adams will be ready for the season opener, although he'll need to prove his health on the practice field first. When he's on the field, he's a surefire IDP starter at DB, as he averaged 7.1 tackles per game through his first two seasons with the Seahawks. Unfortunately, he will continue to be an injury risk moving forward, as his quadriceps injury adds to a lengthy history of shoulder injuries. Read Past Outlooks

Slated to be released
The Seahawks are in line to release Adams (knee), Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Henderson, Adams -- who is bouncing back from a late-season knee issue -- was set to make a non-guaranteed $16.5 million in 2024 and count $26.9 million against the Seahawks' salary cap. During the 2023 regular season, the 2017 first-rounder was limited to nine games while logging 48 tackles in that span. Also being let go by Seattle per the report will be Quandre Diggs, with the pair of looming moves poised to leave the team with a void at safety ahead of free agency.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential offseason cap casualty
In his column outlining offseason moves for each NFC team, Kevin Patra of NFL.com believes the Seahawks should part ways with Adams after June 1.
ANALYSIS
Patra notes that Seattle would save $16.5 million in cap space if it designated Adams as a post-June 1 cut. While Adams could be utilized effectively in the scheme of new defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, the former All-Pro safety played just nine games in 2023 due to a knee injury and ended the season on IR. Adams should be ready to go for training camp, but whether he stays with the Seahawks or dons a different jersey for 2024 remains to be seen.

Adams is the only NFL player who plays his particular position, one that makes him something
like a hybrid between a safety and a 3-4 outside linebacker. It requires some accommodation by
the Seahawks scheme but Adams’ IDP investors don’t mind. As long as his recovery from a torn
shoulder labrum surgery continues well, Adams should be good for about seven tackles per
game and at least a few sacks.
