Adams, a seventh-round pick in 2018, began his career with the Indianapolis Colts where he worked with current Browns special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone.

Last season, Adams played in 10 games for the Bears, starting three and logging 188 defensive snaps. He recorded 26 tackles during the year, with the majority of his production coming in the final seven weeks of the season.

With the Browns, Adams is expected to provide depth to the front seven and contribute as a special teamer. Currently, the Browns' starting linebackers are Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Jacob Phillips, and Sione Takitaki.
