Morris criticized Adams after lackluster performances in the first three games. With the Bears, Adams played brief stints on defense. He made five tackles.
Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune he didn't know Adams well because he arrived during the season.
"But I did know him," he said. "I still saw him every day when I went into work. It's just weird."
Clemson fans recall Adams' performance in a 2006 victory over Wake Forest in which he broke up a field goal try and returned it for a touchdown.
Tommy Bowden, Adams' coach at Clemson, was jolted by news of his death.
"I just couldn't believe it was Gaines," he said. "I will always remember the smile he had on his face and I will always remember his patience."
