We have more social media drama. On Tuesday, safety Jamal Adams unfollowed the Jets on Instagram.
In years past, this sort of teenage drama wasn’t on our radar, but we’ve seen countless players unfollow their respective teams and ask for trades as of late.
In case you were wondering, Adams still follows the Jets on Twitter as of this writing, so there’s that. Also, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com (on Twitter) hears there’s nothing to this latest unfollow scandal, even though the Jets are 0-2 and suffered a Monday night embarrassment at the hands of the Browns.
Here’s more from the AFC East:
- Speaking of the Jets, head coach Adam Gase indicated that Trumaine Johnson‘s benching for the majority of Monday night’s game was not injury-related. “We just decided not to play him,” Gase said. The cornerback is under contract for $15MM/year, but the Jets are making it clear that they will not play him unless he is performing up to their standards. So far, the former Rams star has fallen way, way short of expectations in New York.
- Dolphins head coach Brian Flores says Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the team’s starting quarterback for Week 3. Fitzpatrick hasn’t been able to get much done, but given Miami’s major holes on both sides of the ball, it’s not likely that Josh Rosen could do much better.
- The Dolphins may or may not be tanking, but they claim the tank won’t continue into 2020.
- On Tuesday, the Patriots found some offensive line reinforcements as Isaiah Wynn and Marcus Cannon heal up from injury.
- A Bills rookie linebacker was slapped with a six-game ban stemming from a recent disorderly conduct charge.
