The fine itself is not for Wilfork's alleged elbow to Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, but instead, for what league officials felt was a pattern of aggression that could negatively impact other players in the game, the league source said.
When Wilfork met with commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, Goodell wanted to be sure that Wilfork understood the importance of the safety of the players around him. The fine provides Wilfork something tangible that clearly reflects Goodell's thoughts.
So, the players can now be fined based on possible intent to cause injury or being "agressive"? WTF.

Truth.
"The fine provides Wilfork something tangible that clearly reflects Goodell's thoughts. " Couldn't GODell have just sent Vince an engraved pen instead? Or a memo
Re: The Logic behind Wilfork's fine: Are you kidding me?
Perhaps Herr Oberfurher Goodell has had a conversation with the officials and mandated that they throw copious flags in the Indy game because of a pattern of infractions by the Patriots. It would be something tangible, reflecting his thoughts.

Troy Polamalu is looking more prescient by the day. This is laughable. Wilfork is starting to get a reputation as a dirty player which, IMO, is totally undeserved.
