Jones & Woods fined for actions in Chiefs game

[DallasInDC]

Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk is reporting that Byron Jones and Xavier Woods have both been fined on Friday. Jones was fined $12,154 for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Tyreek Hill's touchdown at the end of the first half, ironically set up by an unnecessary roughness penalty he committed on the kickoff return by Akeem Hunt on that same drive.

Xavier Woods was slapped with double the fine, $24,309 for an illegal blindside block on a third quarter punt return. It seems odd to levy twice the fine to a player who committed half as many major penalties, but there's rarely a rhyme or reason to these decisions anyway.

Someone should fine the Chiefs for that lame-*** celebration after their final TD.

Thankfully they didn't score again and we owned them from that point forward.

24,000 for a rookie on a 6th round contract? Ridiculous

agreed and IMO, that was a clean and legal block

That sucks.

Maybe one of his higher paid teammates will send him an early Christmas present in the exact amount of $24,309. I would.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Roger will be lashing out at Jerry in any way possible at this point. My guess is that Woods (who made a perfectly legal block from the side) has been caught in the cross-fire.

 

[VACowboy]

This is getting (beyond) ridiculous.

so, just when you think the NFL has it out for Dallas, I will submit that they have it our for the state of Texas

2017 fines through week 8
1. Texans...$5.21M
2. Bears...$2.65M
3. Bengals...$1.89M
4. Cowboys...$1.77M

Prior to week 9, 7 teams have not been fined (AZ, CLE, IND, JAX, KC, NE, TEN)

NFCE
NYG...$1.21M
Wash $404k
Phil...$86k

Shocking... Roger trying to collect monies to pay for his inflated salary

 

[Slim_JD]

24k is ridiculous for a player with his pay scale. Hopefully Jerry reimburses him.

No fines for the in-game brawls last weekend?...........

Woods' block was textbook. I'd argue that he even let up and could've completely destroyed the guy if he wanted to. That's ridiculous.

And they really should fine these guys arcording to their pay. 24K fine could be anywhere from 5-10% of a guy like Woods' annual salary. That's beyond harsh for such a minor infraction. Not to mention highly questionable....

Seriously what the ****? That's like a 10th if what he takes home. Someone is definitely covering that for him.

So the Cowboys have been fined the same amount as the rest of the NFCE combined

I posted this in another thread, but thought it appropriate to post here as well:

Fines should be based on income.

It's was a shoulder to shoulder classic textbook block.

I'm speechless.......

Are you finished?


Fine stands.
