Robert Saleh took a shot at the Jets when discussing his plan for the Titans after being hired as their new head coach
The Tennessee Titans are revamping their defense after hiring head coach Robert Saleh, who is known for his defensive-minded approach. He is bringing in someone he trusts and believes will fit well with the team.
Titans Agree to a Deal With Tony Adams
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on Thursday that the Titans are signing safety Tony Adams to a one-year deal.
The New York Jets signed Adams as an undrafted free agent in 2022, while Saleh was serving as the head coach. Over four years, Adams appeared in 53 games for the Jets, starting 36 of them. During this time, he racked up a total of 232 combined tackles and made four interceptions.
Pro Football Focus rated Adams as the 54th-best safety out of 98 last season, ranking him 32nd in coverage, 56th in pass rush and 93rd in run defense.
Saleh is doing a great job of bringing in defenders he’s worked with in the past, and Adams could be one of those players who helps lead the secondary. Saleh had high praise for Adams, going back to 2024, when Adams was in only his second season in the NFL.
“He’s been great,” head coach Robert Saleh said of Adams on Feb. 15, 2024, via Jets. com John Pullano “You have to remember, he’s young. He’s a second-year player. As excited as we are about him, we know he’s going to have some ups and downs. The ups are going to continue to become more and more frequent. He’s a freak athlete. It’s important to him. He’s a tremendous communicator. He has tremendous explosiveness and speed and instincts. I stand by it — I think he’s going to be a fixture here for a while.”
It looks like Saleh will be excited to team up with Adams again, and hopefully, they can work together to lead the Titans back to playing meaningful football this season.
