Adams switched to linebacker with the Las Vegas Raiders last season. He started four games while playing in all 17, registering 45 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble.
The 30-year-old appeared in just 15 total contests across the three prior campaigns.
Adams made three straight All-Pro teams from 2018-2020 - two with the New York Jets and one with the Seattle Seahawks. Considered one of the game's premier box safeties in his prime, Adams racked up 19.5 sacks, 30 tackles for loss, and 35 quarterback hits in those three seasons.
It's unclear what position Adams will play with Minnesota, but his effectiveness as a blitzer could make him a good fit under Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, whose units have been among the most blitz-heavy in the NFL. The Vikings finished fifth in the NFL with 49 sacks last season.
New Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley previously worked in the Seahawks' front office during Adams' tenure in Seattle.
