Adams, 33, signed a two-year deal with the Rams in March 2025, after struggling to find his footing with the Jets in the previous season.
He got his spark back with Matthew Stafford, securing 14 touchdown passes this season, praising No. 9 as "one of the best quarterbacks to ever play this game" ... while emphasizing how much it means to be a part of the Rams.
"This is exactly what I wanted, what I hoped for as far as what you want in a team," Adams said.
"I had a ball this year. One of my favorite teams I've ever been a part of, no doubt."
