Adams has been claimed on waivers by the Jets, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

Adams, who recorded 30 tackles in 16 games for the Raiders last season, adds needed depth to the Jets' cornerback unit, but he'll need a break or two in his favor to merit IDP consideration.

Adams has been released by the Seahawks, Sports Radio KJR's Curtis Crabtree reports.

Adams got significant playing time with the Raiders last season, but he didn't hold up particularly well, and had to compete for a roster spot in Seattle. If he latches on elsewhere, it will likely just be as a fifth cornerback

Seahawks agreed to terms with CB Phillip Adams, formerly of the Raiders, to a one-year contract.

A career backup, Adams was one of the worst corners in the league last season, getting routinely toasted across his 348 snaps. He made one appearance for the Seahawks in 2011. He'll fight for one of the final spots on the Seahawks' 53-man roster.

Raiders re-signed CB Phillip Adams to a one-year, $630,000 contract.

Oakland declined to tender Adams as an RFA earlier in the day. That would have paid him $1.323 million, so they save a little more than half that by re-upping him. Adams was arguably the Raiders' best corner in 2012, which isn't saying much. He could have a chance to start this season.

Raiders failed to tender CB Phillip Adams, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Raiders brass at one point was high on Adams' potential, but he finished 2012 on injured reserve after multiple concussions and a groin injury. Perhaps the club will try to re-sign Adams for less than the low tender ($1.323 million).

Raiders placed CB Phillip Adams (concussions, groin) on injured reserve, ending his season.

They also signed DE Brandon Bair and S Corey Nelms off the practice squad. Adams, 24, was seen inside the Oakland organization as a player with a lot of long-term potential. He figures to be tendered in 2013 restricted free agency.

Raiders CB Phillip Adams suffered a groin injury in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Raiders CB Phillip Adams has suffered two concussions in the past three games.

He should be considered out indefinitely. Raiders management had high hopes for Adams when they claimed him off waivers from Seattle in early September, and he wound up ovetaking Ronald Bartell at right cornerback. Oakland won't be able to continue to rely on Adams due to his proneness to concussions.

Raiders CB/PR Phillip Adams sustained a concussion in Week 13 versus the Browns.

Adams had replaced Ron Bartell who got benched after being burned by Josh Gordon for a 44-yard touchdown. He's averaged a paltry 6.0 yards on 23 punt returns this season.

Raiders claimed CB Phillip Adams off waivers from the Seahawks.

A seventh-round pick of the 49ers in 2010, Adams appeared in seven games between the Seahawks and Patriots last season. He'll attempt to stick as a special teamer in Oakland.

Adams was the 49ers' seventh-round pick in 2010 and has been bouncing around ever since. He'll likely focus on special teams with the Seahawks.

Patriots waived CB Phillip Adams.

Patriots waived CB Phillip Adams.

The Pats' cornerback corps has healed up after entering Week 4 incredibly shorthanded. Adams had yet to be active this season after being signed in early September.

Patriots signed CB Phillip Adams and DT Landon Cohen.

The addition of Adams may bode poorly for RCB Ras-I Dowling's chances of playing against Buffalo after he left last week's loss with an apparent leg injury. If Dowling is out, Leigh Bodden would start at right corner with Kyle Arrington probably covering the slot. Adams would take Arrington's place on special teams. Cohen replaces Myron Pryor on the roster.

49ers waived CB Phillip Adams.

A seventh-round pick last year, Adams appeared in the 49ers' first 15 games before breaking his ankle in Week 16. He'll look to contribute on special teams elsewhere.

49ers CB Phillip Adams (fractured ankle) is back to full health.

A seventh-round pick a year ago, Adams played in 15 games, notching 13 tackles before fracturing his ankle in Week 16. Appearing in so many games has made him ineligible for the practice squad, so making the 49ers roster is a zero-sum game for Adams. If he does, he should play almost exclusively on special teams.

49ers CB Phillip Adams has resumed running and cutting on the left ankle he fractured late last December.

Adams had screws inserted into the ankle during postseason surgery, but his recovery is ahead of schedule. A seventh-round pick out of South Carolina State last year, Adams will enter 49ers camp and the preseason on the roster bubble. He recorded six special teams tackles in seven appearances as a rookie.
