Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams dies at age 26 - ESPN Chicago

Shocking for me as a Bears fan...he was only 26, and I had high hopes he would really provide some great play in the coming years. Prayers to his family

Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams dies at age 26 - ESPN Chicago


I remember watching him when his name was called, didn't really live up to the hype, but at 26 - that's far too young. Sad day for Clemson and the NFL.

I just saw this on ESPN as well. Very sad news.

Very good college player. 4th overall pick in 2007.

Only 26. :(

Damn, figured you might have the what's what on this already.

Very sad to hear though.

Thoughts to his family, Clemson football and the Bears.

This Clemson forum has a post saying he died from a heart attack.

RIP Gaines, this is crazy, first Henry, now Adams. Too many players are going way before they should.

Wow. R.I.P. Mr. Adams.

ESPN was reporting earlier that it was a heart attack due to an enlarged heart.
