The Seattle Seahawks have released Jamal Adams.

Adams, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was set to make a nonguaranteed $16.5 million in 2024 and count $26.9 million against the salary cap -- untenable amounts for a player who has been unable to stay on the field or get to the quarterback since his stellar Seattle debut in 2020.

The Seahawks are not using a post-June 1 designation with Adams' release, a source told ESPN. That means they will save $6.1 million against the 2024 cap, according to Over The Cap, while absorbing all of his $20.83 million in dead money right away.
