A little reunion: Giants are expected to sign free agent S Andrew Adams. Double-A back where he started as UDFA in 2016. Some experience added to secondary. Adams has played in 87 career games.
I remember him

I think we thought he was pretty decent back then
He sucked, not to put too fine a point on it

Yep. And he had a nice cup of coffee with the Buccaneers.

or maybe, I remember it wrong, lol
He was a rookie pressed to play way outside his depth

back then.

I do not want to remember the era he played for us.

BBI at its finest.
Who gets cut in exchange for signing him  
Angel Eyes : 7/25/2022 9:30 pm : link
?
I remember thinking he looked good enough to make the 53 here  
gersh : 7/25/2022 9:44 pm : link
And then I saw him playing (starting?) for the Bucs and I was shocked.
He’s good enough to compete for a safety spot after XMac and Love
….  
gersh : 7/25/2022 9:46 pm : link
I guess Dane Belton is the 3rd safety, so Adam’s can compete for 4th
I didnt think he was any good  
Mook80 : 7/25/2022 9:47 pm : link
but his rookie year was the last time the Giants didn't suck shit.

2016 seems like a lifetime ago

too succinct?
Who the hell truly knows anything about this guy?  
George from PA : 7/25/2022 9:58 pm : link
He sucks! He is great!


All I have to say...best of luck....either make the team better or make someone else on the team better.

wrong Adams....

You're thinking of Stevie Brown.

Backup safety on a super bowl winning team. He may not be great. But he has a ring.

Never mind googs - he’s clueless. As usual.

Yea. Try again. A backup who’s been employed since he left the giants and won a ring as a backup who contributed. Yea he sucks. Just like Michael Johnson sucked for us
Adams was pretty much strictly a special teams player  
shyster : 7/26/2022 6:25 am : link
for the 2020 SB-winning Bucs squad, except for the Conference champs against Green Bay, in which Jordan Whitehead went down with an injury mid-game.

In 2021, Adams was again a special teams player, except for the 3-game suspension of Bucs' third safety Mike Edwards for violating COVID protocols.

Last time Adams was getting consistent defensive snaps was for the 2019 Bucs team that went 7-9.

Per Pro Football Reference.
Didn't he have a

Adams was inactive for that game. You might be thinking of Dee Delaney, who had a DPI that led to a TD.
2 signings before camp  
DavidinBMNY : 7/26/2022 7:57 am : link
Both Dbs. Interesting data point. Both players good enough to be on NFL teams last year.

Good catch….the fact that they are both DBs tells me nothing is settled yet in our secondary and that their antennas are up for any possible decent DB to pick up.

Only time will tell (not Googs) if any or both of these two new guys are any good. We can always hope they will. Stay tuned……
an UDFA who wasn't stellar  
fkap : 7/26/2022 8:53 am : link
imagine that.

He has enough attributes to have 87 games on his resume.

At this time of year, don't expect much of any player signed, outside a rare exception. Suck is a bit harsh, especially when most college players can only dream of making a NFL squad.
This is the lond of thing we'll be seeing all year  
Optimus-NY : 7/26/2022 10:05 am : link
Scraping the bottom of the barrel. The Giants will be taking their medicine this year because of cap and talent concerns.
Need a backup safety  
JonC : 7/26/2022 10:56 am : link
who can also play specials, especially with Belton being a rookie.
IIRC, he wasn't a great cover guy  
Bill in UT : 7/26/2022 1:19 pm : link
but was a decent tackler
Bottom line,  
MOOPS : 7/26/2022 1:40 pm : link
if he shows enough to be one of the top 4 or 5 at his position and/or fills a special team need, he'll make the final 53.
Not much different than any of the other URAs or UDFAs filling out every teams 90.

tend to remember him showing up late for every play, whether running or passing play. He would come into the tv screen after the whistle blew like he was basically a ref.

He sucks, but if you all consider him a potential asset go ahead...

You are one of the few legacy chuckleheads that continues to be on the site. I give you credit for hanging around this long being wrong so often, but kudos...
