There aren't many details right now, but from what I'm reading it doesn't look like foul play was a factor. RIP

Crazy. I hope no foul play was involved.

What a shame. He was so young too. R.I.P.

Wow seems like alot of nfl superstars seem to pass away, rip :(

That really sucks. I feel like an incredible jerk for saying this now, but he was our second round pick in this year's draft, really sucks not being able to see if that pans out. I do feel really sorry for his family, though, 26 is incredibly young.

Damn that sucks. 26 is way too young.

An enlarged heart was the problem. You would think that would be easily detected when they go for checkups and stuff. Tjeremiah1988

I thought the same thing...RIP

Just too young to die....R.I.P GAINES ADAMS

A very sad story indeed. I remember Homer and I met Gaines at the NFL Draft event that EA Sports threw a few years ago. Really nice kid, even when I kidded him about the absolutely hideous sweater he was wearing that night.

As a Bears fan, it's an unfortunate loss for the team, but as a Gaines Adams fan, it's a sadder loss for the world.
