Jones & Woods fined for actions in Chiefs game

[Brooksey]

I will hear the appeal for the league.

Are you finished?


Fine stands.

Welp

 

[Kevinicus]

The fine amount seems consistent with others with similar penalties (blows to the head area).

I'd have to see the play again to see if it was deserving. It was definitely a blindside, but I can't recall if it was at the head/neck.

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

Good idea.

Circumvent the salary cap. Lose a draft pick.

You sir, should be a GM

 

[Jake]

Fines should be based on income.

Karl Marx is a Cowboys fan? Who knew?

 

[Jake]

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

AJ Green was fined $42,000.

 

[AbeBeta]

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

Collectively bargained amount for this sort of penalty.

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.

Things that make you go hmmmm. #Cowboysconspiracies, #NFLiscorrupt

I don't agree with the Woods fine, but I'd have fined Jones for general stupidity.

 

[AbeBeta]

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

Yeah, except fines don't go to the league. They go to assistance programs for former players

Consistent?

Wow. It almost seems like the league has some sort of policy or something on fine amounts

Hardly. Wanting fines to be fair to the player and adjusted to be an equal level of penalty is not being Marxist. A rookie on a sixth round contract getting a $24k fine is BS, while that may not even be a punishment to another player.

Yeah I know that, just poking fun and trying to get a little "jab" at the tyrant of RG

The players seemed fine with that when they voted to ratify the CBA.

Does that mean there shouldn't be changes or adjustments down the road?

They were fined, just some went suspended when they clearly should have been. I have no idea how AJ Green wasn't suspended for what he did.

 

[TheCount]

Players have no leverage and modifications aren't a part of the CBA.

Maybe next time.

Ok, I'm not arguing that.

 

[CWR]

Wow, there was NOTHING dirty about Woods hit. Im so sick of being told on here that the NFL isnt corrupted. These decisions go beyond blatant incompetence.

Sure, a shoulder to shoulder blindside. Yes you do need to see the play again.

 

[SlammedZero]

I'd like to fine Roger Goodell $55,000 for being a terrible commissioner. Check can be made payable to SlammedZero.

Anti-Cowboy bias anyone?
