After 16 NFL seasons where he played for six different teams, former Pro Bowl safety has decided to hang up his Michael Dickson Jersey cleats for good. The 38-year-old, who was set to be a free agent this offseason, made on NFL Network."I'm calling it quits," Adams said. "Time to hang up the cleats. Retiring, done deal. It's over,"A big reason Adams decided to retire is because he didn't want to go through another offseason of waiting for a team to call. In 2019, the veteran defensive back didn't sign with a team until September when the added him on a one-year deal. Under NFL rules, teams don't have to give a veteran a fully guaranteed contract if they sign after Week 1, and due to that rule, Adams didn't think anyone would be looking to sign him this year until September."I got so used to the proce s," Adams said. "I love training, but the proce s of being a vet and not being picked up early and having to wait until after the first game, because when you wait until after the first game, your contract is not guaranteed ... I tear up a little bit, because for 16 years, football is what I do, but now I'm a civilian taking my girls to school and picking them up."

During his three seasons in Indy, the veteran was voted to consecutive Pro Bowls in 2014 and 2015, which ended up being the only two Pro Bowl appearances of his career. Adams played his final three seasons with the (2017-18) and Texans (2019), and ended up playing in at least one playoff game with each team.
