Adam Jones has received a $35,000 fine from the NFL for slamming Amari Cooper's head into his helmet in Week 1.

Jones said he will appeal the fine, given for hitting a defenseless player.

"It's way too much," Jones said Wednesday, adding, "$35,000 is a lot of money for a guy out playing football. But it is what it is.

"I'll appeal and if it gets appealed, hey [good]. If it doesn't, I guess I donated to somebody's college fund this year."

Adam Jones will likely be fined for slamming the head of Amari Cooper into his helmet, but won't receive a suspension.

Asked if he anticipated a fine or suspension, he simply replied: "No."

Officials didn't see the incident during the game.

"Whatever you saw happen, that's what happened," Jones said. "I'm just here to play football. I don't back down from anybody and I'm not out here trying to start anything. I'm just out here playing football."

"I mean, it's football," Cooper said. "It's a physical game, so you kind of expect it."

The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension with A.J. Green.

Green is a four-time Pro Bowler and has consistently been ranked one of the top-50 players in the NFL.

Green caught 69 balls for 1,041 yards and six touchdowns last season in 13 games.

Green joins Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas and Julio Jones with new deals.
