Green Bay Packers v San Francisco 49ers
The New York Jets signed Adrian Amos and some NFL fans aren't too happy about it.

The New York Jets announced that they had signed safety Adrian Amos to a one-year deal, earlier this week. This is the Jets' latest signing as they try to assemble what they believe to be a "super team." And, while the Jets and, of course, New York Jets fans are optimistic about the future, other NFL fans are not.

The news of the team signing Amos had NFL fans on Twitter criticizing the move. Their comments had nothing to do with Amos, with some even admitting that he was a good player and that he will help the defense. But, it was the idea that the New York Jets had once again signed another former Green Bay Packers player.
