“This league is a damn joke!” Adams said in a tweet. “I signed up to play football not two hand touch. B------t! I don't give a damn about these soft rules protecting QBs. I'm gonna play MY brand of football every time I step on the field.”
Adams has clearly been frustrated since the 23-3 loss to the Browns.
He said in a radio interview on WFAN he was benched after anticipating a play wrong. He finished the game with five tackles, including one for a loss.

Adams told ESPN’s Dianna Russini that he never followed the Jets on social media since the team drafted him in 2018.
