I didn't talk about him that much, which is weird.
Um, the Vikings signed him to the veteran minimum contract, uh, which means he makes personally, he gets in cash like 1.4 million this year against the cap.
The Vikings, I think only take on 1.1 million.
So that's the veteran minimums, like I guess, credit or bonus or whatever they call it.
Um,
Something that was negotiated into the CPA by veterans because the CPA – the union, the NFLPA is composed primarily of veterans to benefit veterans and encourage teams to sign veterans, which turns out really important after you institute a rookie salary cap that makes rookies way cheaper than the middle tier free agent.
Yeah, so –
I, we, we have a piece over of a wide left about Jamal Adams, about how he's not nearly as good of a blitzer as, uh, as his reputation would suggest, but he does have kind of the versatility that you would want in a Brian Flores dimebacker type.
Now, again, he is more of a linebacker than he is a safety.
So, um, it's not as if he's like a Josh Metellus or even a J Ron curse.
He is a linebacker who had played safety previously.
Um,
I mean, he does like to hit people, but when he is rushing a passer, he is definitely an evasion type.
Again, you can go into the piece that goes into much more detail.
An evasion type guy, and it ends up complicating rush lanes for trying to keep the quarterback contained.
or if it turns out it's like a play action or a draw and it's actually a running play, he can be outside of the run.
Not like a bad signing necessarily, but also not one that I regarded as super necessary because I don't think the linebacker room is like a huge problem.
It does, I guess, make Ivan Pace's job a little bit more concerning, but given that Jamal Adams is not very likely to play special teams at all and Ivan Pace plays a pretty significant role in special teams, it's possible that the Vikings keep five linebackers, which would...
I find it to be extremely transparent.
As someone who recorded a whole podcast episode on an anti-conspiracy theory podcast about the substation, it is getting more difficult to push back on the substation theory.
