Adams signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Jets on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Adams will return to the Jets on a one-year contract, which the team offered him in March. He has appeared in 30 games over the past two seasons, starting all but four of those while compiling 166 tackles and 11 passes defensed over that span. Adams can tentatively be penciled in as the starting strong safety heading into 2025, though the Jets could still add competition via the draft or free agency.

Jets' Tony Adams: Receives tender
Rotowire
Adams was tendered by the Jets on Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Adams appeared in 15 games (11 starts) for the Jets in 2024, recording career highs in total tackles (84), sacks (1.0) and passes defended (six). After placing a tender on Adams, the Jets have the right to match any offer he receives in free agency. The 26-year-old from Illinois is now likely to return to New York and compete for a starting safety role throughout the offseason.

Jets' Tony Adams: Logs career-high tackle total
Rotowire
Adams registered 84 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with six pass defenses (one of which was an interception) over 15 games (11 starts) during the 2024 campaign.
Despite recording 143 fewer defense snaps than in 2023, Adams increased his tackle total by two. He also had one more pass defense than in the previous campaign, though he finished with two fewer interceptions. Adams was somewhat surprisingly taken out of the starting lineup Weeks 11-14, though he returned to the starting unit for New York's final three games after Jalen Mills was placed on IR due to a collarbone injury. Adams will be a restricted free agent upon the start of the offseason, and given his late-season demotion, it's uncertain if he'll be back with the club for another campaign.
