Julian Edelman fined $26k

And he has a good basis for him to appeal...he was fined more than any other Broncos player. Darian Stewart was fined $18,231 and LB Brandon Marshall was fined $24,309. Both players deliberately administered helmet to helmet hits on Cam Newton; Marshall even left his feet on his dirty hit.

Just goes to show that some teams are looked upon more favorably by Goodell and his sycophants.

For a block where there's a runner? That doesn't seem right at all.

Watch Julian Edelman deliver a crushing block on Deone Bucannon

So fines against the Pats will be 3 to 4 times higher?

bring it.

 

[ANGR89]

No worries he can appeal and it will get reduced.....oh wait he's a Patriot so that fines not going anywhere!

I know his forearm/arm went to the guy's helmet, but Marshall literally launched himself helmet to helmet into Cam. Clearly deliberate. How does Edelman get fined more?

 

[captain insano]

what a f---king joke.

Too bad he didn't seriously injure the dude. At least he would have gotten his money's worth.

That is why Home Field is so important its one of the only saving grace for our Patriots. Denver was Gifted HomeField by us last year and it worked well in their favor and to our detriment...the witch hunt on the Patriots continues...

In this case it is no bias, I believe it is a function of your avg annual comp.

So Stewart and Marshall both make less per year than Edelman? I seriously doubt that...

Um no. That is not how it works at all. Each infraction has its own set fine amount.

I love Jules.
I loved the hit and I am surprised he didn't get 15 yards for it...and the fine.
I agree with the fine. If we allow blindside blocks (the defender was not looking at Julian), then the defensive players are all open to getting hit. I don't need some Steelers WR taking out Jamie Collins on a 7yd rush by their RB.
...loved the aggressive hit, Jules!!

You can say that again did they Rip-up his latest deal?? He has certainly outplayed his contract.

So he was fined more than Marshall's attempt to murder Cam Newton. Good to know.
#intetgrity!

Sorry, but the video clearly shows the defender looking right at Edelman moments before they hit. How is that a "blindside block" or even a "defenseless player"?

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I'm not a salary cap expert but Marshall, Stewart, and Edelman's fines all amount to roughly .5% (yes, half a percent) of their salary cap hit.

The runner is passing through right behind them at the very top of the screen..

If you have to ask the question, you haven't been paying attention

Tweaked your post for appropriate emphasis.

I can't think of a single "conspiracy" theory that I believe in unless you consider Oak Island to be a conspiracy but then I probably believe in it just because I want to.

That said, that game was fixed in a way I've never once actually believed an NFL game to be since or before.
