Just a week after his teammate was fined for a hit against Pittsburgh, New York Jets Linebacker Jamien Sherwood lost some money from a hit against the New England Patriots.

According to NFL Network, the league fined Sherwood $6,354 for unnecessary roughness and wearing a helmet in a hit last Sunday on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, a hit that landed the rookie in concussion protocol.

Maye left the game and did not return, as he was replaced by veteran Jacoby Brissett. Maye cleared concussion protocol and was removed from the Patriots’ injury report before this weekend’s game.

NFL Network’s Tom Pellisero posted a video of the hit for reference.

Sherwood, selected by the Jets in 2021, is in the final year of the rookie contract he signed that paid him $4.3834 million. His base salary in 2024 is just over $1 million.

Sherwood has 80 combined tackles, 50 of which are solo, along with six tackles for loss and a quarterback hit. He’s already surpassed career highs in every major category with eight games left.

He will be a free agent after this season.

Sherwood had no immediate reaction to the final on social media, as he and the Jets were away this weekend after beating the Houston Texans in Thursday.

That wasn’t the case when teammate and linebacker Quincy Williams was fined $45,020 for unnecessary roughness and wearing a helmet in a hit on Steelers running back Jaylen Warren last Sunday.

That play prompted a response from Williams on social media, which was the night before the New England game.

How am I supposed to do this tackle?

My shoulder is not that far from my head. He lowers his helmet to make contact with me. They won’t run me over!!! #Flagfootball #Twohandtouch

There was no flag on the play.

The New York Jets just snapped a five-game losing streak and will have 10 days to prepare for their next game, which is scheduled for Arizona next Sunday. New York is trying to become the fourth team in the Super Bowl era to start the season 2-6 and make the playoffs.
