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."
