Clearly, the NFL did not like seeing Ben McAdoo using a walkie talkie on the sideline.

The Giants received their punishment from the league Tuesday: a $150,000 fine for the team, $50,000 fine for McAdoo and having their 2017 fourth-round draft pick dropped to the end of the round.

“It was a clear violation of the rules, and we accept full responsibility and the penalty,’’ the Giants said in a statement.

The Post broke the story last week the NFL was investigating the matter and that a fine was expected.

The Giants’ fourth-round pick now will come after all the compensatory picks in the round, a drop of a maximum of 12 spots.
