Adams made his first appearance in 2017 in the round 2 grand final rematch against the Swans, as a direct replacement for injured veteran Dale Morris.[4] He was among the best players, recording 20 disposals, 9 of which were contested.

Adams moved to the Brisbane Lions for the 2019 season. After the conclusion of the 2022 season, Adams was moved to the inactive list following long-term concussion symptoms.
