Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams was heavily criticized by fans on social media for making fun of a reporter’s wife on Friday.
Adams was criticized for his defense about a game-winning touchdown by Dallas Cowboys safety Jake Ferguson late on Thursday Night Football. The play resulted in the Cowboys taking the lead with just four and a half minutes left.
Connor Hughes, a SNYtv journalist who has covered the Jets since Adams played for New York, retweeted the piece and captioned it “Yikes.”
On Friday, Adams used the same caption – and a mocking emoji – when tweeting a photo of Hughes’ wife. Although Adams later deleted the tweet, fans rushed to condemn the post.
“Jamal Adams is a piece of human trash,” one fan wrote with a screenshot of Adams’ deleted tweet.

“Jamal Adams has had a bad 24 hours,” a second fan wrote.
A third fan said that Adams had “hit rock bottom,” while a fourth simply called him “a loser” for that comment.
Adams later added fuel to the fire through posts another tweet which was: “Don’t start, nothing will be nothing.”
“You got crazy last night,” one fan commented. “Just take it like a man.”
Adams played his first three seasons in the NFL with the Jets before moving to Seattle in 2020. Adams made the last of his three Pro Bowl appearances in his first year with the Seahawks.
Adams has yet to record a sack or interception this season, and the Seahawks are currently 6-6 and in second place in the NFC West.
