Suspension Blotter (And what pre-season fines I can find) Update 8/28/16

  • San Diego Chargers:  Damion Square, 4 games, substance abuse program.  Forfeiture is $158,823, according to Spotrac.
Square becomes the 37th NFL player to be suspended over the summer.  The Chargers become the 17th NFL team to have at least one suspended player.

Fines:
  • Detroit Lions:  Kerry Hyder:  $6,617* , Roughing the Passer.
  • Houston Texans:  John Simon:  $18,231, Roughing the Passer.
  • Seattle Seahawks:  Jarran Reed:  $18,231, Roughing the Passer.
*:  It's the same offense, but Hyder's fine is capped, upon proof, at 25% of his weekly paycheck if he makes the roster.  Hence, the difference.  It is not known, though, what number gets applied to the team policy for the team getting fined if accumulated fines (which include preseason and playoffs) reach certain levels.  (Pro Football Talk)

According to Spotrac:
  • Kansas City Chiefs:  Jeremy Maclin 
  • and St. Louis Los Angeles Rams:   LaMarcus Joyner:  $9,115 each for their ejection fights.
These were the two players in the now-infamous ref goof video about the ref forgetting the Rams are now in Los Angeles.

And I'm putting this one in a separate column:
  • Minnesota Vikings:  Adrian Peterson:  Lost his appeals of 3 game checks, in addition to his 2014 child-abuse suspension.  The new poster child of the NFC North (at least, if not the NFL in general), God-Fearing Kid Beater, according to Spotrac, was fined $2,073,529.
