It’s really remarkable how many players on the Panthers roster are still producing at an age when most guys are well into retirement.

Last season, defensive end Julius Peppers posted 11 sacks at 37 years old. Linebacker Thomas Davis had 2.5 sacks and 52 tackles at 34. When he was healthy, tight end Greg Olsen was putting up big numbers at 32.

Safety Mike Adams can still ball too, even though he recently turned 37.

According to Panthers stat guru Will Bryan, Adams has 21 takeaways over the last four seasons, which ranks No. 3 in the NFL over that span.

Not bad.

Adams came into the league with the 49ers back in 2004. Since then he’s played in 206 regular season games and posted 27 interceptions, 87 passes defensed and 667 tackles.

Even though the rest of Carolina’s secondary was suspect, Adams got high marks for his work in 2017. Adams had two picks and tied for the team lead with 10 pass breakups. Pro Football Focus ranked him No. 24 at his position for the year.

Adams is under contract for one more year and has a relatively small cap hit at just $2.4 million.
