No talent deals have been finalized.
A spokesperson for Netflix declined to comment and reps for Adams did not respond to a request for comment.
Netflix reportedly paid the NFL a total of $150 million to air Chiefs vs. Steelers and Ravens vs. Texans on Christmas Day.

Earlier this week, The Post exclusively reported that Netflix had sought Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt to be the announcers for one of the game — but Fox Sports blocked the streaming service from utilizing its top NFL team.
Netflix is currently hoping for Ian Eagle, Noah Eagle, Nate Burleson and Greg Olsen to be in the booths for the double-header.

Ian Eagle and Burleson work for CBS, which is producing the games for Netflix.
It isn’t clear whether Fox will permit Olsen and/or if NBC will allow Noah Eagle to work games.
Elsewhere, Barstool Sports host Taylor Lewan, who was a three-time Pro Bowl tackle for the Titans, revealed that he is on the “shortlist” to be a sideline reporter for one of the games.
Lewan is also rumored to be the host of an upcoming Netflix reality show.
