- Isaiah Adams, 25, turned himself into Durham Regional Police on Sunday and faces four charges: possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm, and possessing a prohibited device
- Adams' 27-year-old sister Allyson Mae Adams is facing the same four charges in the same investigation
- The Durham Regional Police Guns and Gangs Unit investigation led to two of the four people being arrested on fentanyl trafficking charges, with officers seizing more than three kilograms of the drug from their vehicle
- Adam's attorney Adam Weisberg said his client is "completely innocent," had "no knowledge of any firearm," and "will be fully exonerated"
- The Arizona Cardinals said they are aware of the situation but will refrain from further comment "out of respect for the process"
- Adams has returned to Arizona and will report to Cardinals training camp Wednesday, where he was the projected starting right guard but faces competition from rookie Chase Bisontis
- Adams was a third-round pick in 2024 out of the University of Illinois and started 11 games last season — the first five and the final six
Why it matters: Adams entered this offseason as the Cardinals' projected starting right guard, but the unresolved charges — which his attorney vows to fight — cloud his availability. With rookie Chase Bisontis already lined up to compete for the job, Adams' legal situation could force a position battle the Cardinals hadn't planned to resolve this quickly.
