Before We Hit Week 2, Here's the Rest of Week 1's Fine Blotter

(Source:  Spotrac)
  • Minnesota Vikings:  Eversen Griffen:  $18,231, Roughing the Passer
  • San Diego Chargers:  Jahleel Addae:  $24,309, Helmet Hit
  • Seattle Seahawks:  Michael Bennett:  $9,115, Celebration
  • Green Bay Packers:  Randall Cobb:  $9,115, Face Mask
  • New York Giants:  Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz:  $12,154 each for a Celebration foul.
  • Cincinnati Bengals:  Michael Johnson:  $9,115, Roughing the Passer
  • New York Jets:  Eric Decker:  $9,115 for Unsportsmanlike Conduct
  • Atlanta Falcons:  Robert Alford:  $9,115 for Fighting
  • New England Patriots:  Julian Edelman:  $24,309, Defenseless Player Hit
  • Arizona Cardinals:  Chandler Jones:  $12,154, Celebration
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  Gerald McCoy:  $12,154, Celebration
  • New England Patriots:  Cameron Fleming:  $18,231, Leg Whip foul
  • Buffalo Bills:  Jerry Hughes:  $18,231, Roughing the Passer
  • Detroit Lions:  DeAndre Levy:  $9,115, Taunting
So, counting all that up with the others I posted last week:  (Antonio Brown's two, Denver's two helmet-shot fines, Trai Turner (note:  SEVEN of these fines (including one of Brown's and Turner's) were for excessive celebrations!!),  and DeAndre Hopkins')...

16 teams had fines in Week 1.

The total, at least as of this report, for Week 1, was $294,730.

And I don't know if I got this one:
  • Another free agent suspended.  Manny Lawson, cut by the Bills on September 2nd (which would've been their FOURTH player suspended), suspended two games last Friday for a domestic situation -- which probably resulted in him getting cut.  Some of the Spotrac information on contracts is now a premium part of the service, but the forfeiture appears to be somewhere in the line of about $300,000 or so, probably a third of that going to the league for Suspension Number Four.
