Jets’ Adams Blasts NFL After Being Fined For Hit

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP)Jets safety Jamal Adams is calling the NFL “a damn joke” for fining him for a hit he made on Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield during New York’s loss to Cleveland on Monday night.

An angry Adams wrote on Twitter on Wednesday night that the league docked him $21,000 after he was called for roughing the passer midway through the first quarter when he hit Mayfield with his left forearm just after the Browns star threw a pass.

This league is a damn joke! I just got fined $21k for this hit, I signed up to play football not two hand touch.
