Adams, drafted in the 1998 NFL Draft, has played his entire career with the Dallas Cowboys. He tore his ACL in 2005 against the New York Giants and was out for the remainder of the season. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl five times in his career. He made the All-Pro Second-team for the first time in his career in 2007. On February 28, 2008, he signed a new six-year contract with the Cowboys. It was in the neighborhood of $42 million, including $15 million in guaranteed money and about $13 million in signing bonus. In the 2009 season Adams was fined several times for kicking at and tripping opponents. [2] Adams also got into an altercation with several Giants in their December 6, 2009 game at Giants Stadium after he pushed Justin Tuck from behind after a play had been blown dead, an action which drew review by the NFL and a fine of $50K.[3]

Personal

Adams is the cousin of former NBA player Hersey Hawkins. His nickname is "The Hotel", in reference to his 6-7, 340-pound frame. He is partially deaf in his right ear (this also accounted for his draft stock falling in the days leading up to the 1998 NFL Draft). He currently resides in McKinney, Texas.
