Could the former Pro Bowl safety strengthen the Dallas Cowboys' defense?

Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams has officially accepted his request to be released by the Tennessee Titans.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported that Adams' agents Kevin Conner and Robert Brown confirmed his release. The Titans will honor Adams' request and allow the 29-year-old to enter free agency.

Adams signed a one-year contract with the Titans in the offseason and played in three games with one start and four tackles.

Several teams will likely seek the services of the former 2019 First Team All-Pro, and the Dallas Cowboys should consider signing Adams for several reasons.

Adams brings a wealth of experience and leadership skills. His presence could help improve the play of younger players on defense.

Adams could be a valuable asset under defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who has used versatile safeties in the past. His ability to blitz and create turnovers fits Zimmer's aggressive defensive philosophy.

Before joining the Titans, Adams played four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2020-2023) and three seasons with the New York Jets (2017-2019), who selected him sixth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft out of LSU.

In eight seasons, Adams has totaled 498 tackles, 21.5 sacks, 36 pass deflections, seven forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, four interceptions and two defensive touchdowns.

Adams was selected to three consecutive Pro Bowls and was named to the All-Pro teams from 2018 to 2020.
