Broncos signed S Mike Adams, formerly of the Browns, to a two-year contract.
Adams started all 16 games at free safety last season, excelling in coverage for the Browns. He confirmed he's ticketed for the same position in Denver, which bodes poorly for 2011 second-rounder Rahim Moore, whose natural position is free. Quinton Carter may have the edge for the strong safety job. Thu, Mar 15, 2012 05:57:00 PM

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

Free agent safety Mike Adams has received interest from four teams since free agency started.

Interest is a lot different than "serious interest" or a contract offer. The Browns want to keep Adams, a 16-game starter last year. Usama Young would be the in-house candidate to replace Adams if the free safety leaves.

In addition to CB Dimitri Patterson, Browns GM Tom Heckert hopes to re-sign FS Mike Adams.

A 16-game starter for the first time in his eight-year career, Adams recorded 41 tackles, six passes defensed, and three picks last season while playing more snaps than any Browns safety. He said in December that he hopes to be back in Cleveland.

Impending free agent FS Mike Adams says he hopes to re-sign with the Browns this offseason.

"It's my first choice, but I have to embrace change if change happens," he said. "I've been around this business a long time." Adams revealed that there's "been no numbers, no contract talk" between the two sides. Set to turn 31 in May, Adams has been a top-30 NFL safety this season per Pro Football Focus.

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

Mike Adams is listed ahead of Usama Young as the Browns starting free safety.

Young was brought in from New Orleans to be the starter, but a hamstring injury crippled his camp. Strong safety T.J. Ward remains the player in this secondary to target in IDP circles.

Browns GM Tom Heckert indicated that Mike Adams will battle Usama Young for the starting free safety job.

Young was brought in last week on a three-year, $6 million contract and we give him a slight edge on talent level in this battle. Heckert also confirmed that T.J. Ward will be kicking to strong safety.

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

GM Tom Heckert indicated Tuesday that Mike Adams is currently "penciled in" as a starting safety opposite T.J. Ward.

Heckert also confirmed that safety will be a priority once the lockout is lifted. Free agent Abram Elam, an Eric Mangini favorite, does not appear to be in the Browns' 2011 plans. Donte Whitner, who played under new coordinator Dick Jauron in Buffalo, makes a lot of sense. He's also a native of Cleveland.

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

Browns CB Mike Adams (abdomen) has been ruled out for Week 11 at Jacksonville.

Cleveland's 23rd-ranked pass defense will need all the help it can get against the red-hot David Garrard, who has made a career off of home cooking against bad teams. Joe Haden is expected to take over nickel back duties while Adams is out. We have Garrard ranked as our No. 11 fantasy QB for Week 11.

The Browns have moved Mike Adams from safety to cornerback.

Adams is expected to be Cleveland's new slot corner in nickel packages. The team's starting free safety last year, Adams has been supplanted by rookie T.J. Ward. Abe Elam and Larry Asante will compete in camp at strong safety.

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

Mike Adams graded out higher than Brandon McDonald last season, according to Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

McDonald became an immediate starter as a rookie, but was eventually benched in favor of the mediocre Adams. With Sheldon Brown and Eric Wright now looking locked in as the starting corners, McDonald could be on the roster bubble. Adams will lose his job if the Browns draft Eric Berry.

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

Browns re-signed S Mike Adams to a three-year, $4.1 million contract.

Adams' versatility work got him some interest from the Packers and Patriots, but he wasn't offered much to leave. Though he may end up starting if the Browns can't find a replacement for Sean Jones, Adams signed for backup money. The Browns definitely will have to find a better strong safety. Adams isn't much of a tackler or built (5'11/195) to hold up in a run-support role.

After leaving Green Bay without a contract, free agent DB Mike Adams is en route to New England.

The Pats can't offer a starting job, but will love Adams' versatility and special teams value. New England looks to be moving on from Rodney Harrison.

The Packers will visit with free agent DB Mike Adams later this week.

The meeting will occur Tuesday or Wednesday. Adams, a 28-year-old with some starting experience, would add depth at safety and play special teams.

Mike Adams - DB - Broncos

Free agent S Mike Adams says he wants to return to the Browns in 2009.

New coach Eric Mangini might be up for it. Mangini likes versatility in his DBs and Adams can play the nickel, both safety positions, and special teams. He should be able to be retained for a little more than the minimum.
