Texans | Sign Joe Adams Fri Aug 1, 05:18 PM
The Houston Texans signed WR Joe Adams (Panthers) Friday, Aug. 1. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Adams is a quick/fast receiver/returner who had major hands problems earlier in his career after being drafted in the fourth round by the Panthers. He's probably just a camp body. |

Panthers | Wide receiver notes Thu Jun 13, 01:25 PM
Carolina Panthers WRs Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell are locked in at the top two spots. Ted Ginn Jr. has stood out during minicamp, catching several deep passes from Cam Newton. Armanti Edwards looks more comfortable playing the position. Ginn and Edwards will compete with Kealoha Pilares, Joe Adams and David Gettis for roster spots and reps.
| Footballguys view: Smith should be the star receiver he's been for years in 2013. His current ADP is WR28 (6.08) which makes him a good value. The bigger question mark is LaFell. He's got the size/speed combination to be an effective pro but has lacked consistency to his game. LaFell's current ADP is WR69 and he's coming off the board at 14.10 in 12 team PPR leagues. |

| Footballguys view: Without LaFell in the lineup it will mean more targets for WR Steve Smith and TE Greg Olsen. Could be a big day for the Panthers passing game against the 32nd rank Redskins pass defense. |

The New England Patriots are expected to take a kick returner at some point during the 2012 NFL Draft. University of Florida RB Chris Rainey, University of Arkansas WR Joe Adams, Fresno State WR Devon Wylie and Syracuse WR Dorian Graham could be options during the draft.
| Footballguys view: All of those players would be good options for the Patriots at various points during the NFL Draft. We like Wylie the best out of the group because he is a very dangerous WR as well. |

Patriots | Could have interest in Joe Adams Sun Feb 19, 03:01 PM
The New England Patriots could show interest in Arkansas WR Joe Adams in the 2012 NFL Draft because of his playmaking ability on offense as well as his return ability.
| Footballguys view: Our very own Cecil Lammey watched Adams up close during the week of practice for the Senior Bowl earlier this year and came away impressed. Adams is an ultra-fast WR who is very quick in and out of his breaks. He's very difficult to cover and is a savvy route runner. |
