Although Adams eventually deleted his initial social media post, NFL fans still reacted and called out the athlete for his mean tweet.

“Cheap shooting people doesn’t change the fact he was a disaster with the Seahawks and the Jets were a better defense without him,” one user He said.

“This makes you look like an ass,” another commenter said wrote.

“Jamal Adams left New York 3 years ago as an immature loser. Nothing has changed 3 years later. Rubbish,” commented another X user.Added another: “You’re a bud clown.”

Adams also seemed to react to the situation with Hughes in the second twitter which remains on his account, writing: “Don’t start, nothing will be nothing.” Then, after one fan wrote that Adams was “doubled up,” the NFL star replied“I don’t double down on anything. I last 10 toes with him. Bro made a hell of an adjustment on the ball last night and made a play. Hello. It’s the NFL.”

Adams later retweeted one user’s post, which read: “I don’t know why members of the media think they can constantly monitor and personally humiliate, belittle and antagonize players with no repercussions. It’s all ‘business is business’ until it’s not . So get it, and the players are real people.” Both Adams and Hughes did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
