Zebley has already retained an attorney and is currently exploring his legal options against Adams.

“What happened was egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence that should not be excused by the NFL.” We continue to investigate this matter on Mr. Zebley’s behalf and to evaluate his legal options.'

During the latest edition of ESPN’s First Take, Smith blasted the cameraman for attempting to extort money from Adams.
“This is a money grab, I’m accusing the guy,” Smith said. “You’re damn right it is, okay? He got pushed to the ground, you got right back up. Next thing you know you at the police department, and now you filed some charges. Please ain’t nobody fooled, this is a money grab.”
