The Las Vegas Raiders made a bit of a bold play earlier this week when they signed veteran defender Jamal Adams. While he was once considered one of the best safeties in the league and has a rapport with head coach Pete Carroll, there were some questions about his coverage skills and character.
As fallout began from the addition, it became clear that Las Vegas planned to use him as a linebacker instead of a safety, which eased some concerns among Raider Nation. His skill set, at this point in his career, may be best utilized as a run stopper and short coverage player, not the last line of defense.
