- Already the first two-time loser of the season! Pittsburgh Steelers: Antonio Brown, fined twice for Week 1. One was for unsportsmanlike conduct for his touchdown celebration and the other was a uniform violation for illegal cleats. $21,269 appears to be the total. (ESPN)
- Denver Broncos: You know this was coming! Darian Stewart gets $18,231 and Brandon Marshall $24,309 for their headshots on Cam Newton. Be surprised if there aren't more announced tomorrow. (NFL.com)
- Carolina Panthers: Trai Turner: $9,115, excessive celebration. (Spotrac)
- Six players wore 9/11 styled cleats on Sunday, and all expected to be fined. One player, Tennessee's Avery Williamson, was getting support prepared for him from not only his coach, but New York and New Jersey police unions! Word is, through SB Nation, none will be fined.
- SB Nation also reports that, as a compromise for previous fines, players WILL now be allowed some leeway on one given week of this season for charitable causes. The report says it will be Week 13.
- At least one player has been reported docked over $26,000 for a defenseless player situation.
And, on the suspension blotter:
- Not sure if I reported this, but another Free Agent suspended: Prince Shembo banned 2 games for animal cruelty charges.
- New York Giants: Nikita Whitlock banned 10 games for PEDs. His forfeiture? About $320,000.
- The Buffalo Bills became the second team to have to pay a Club Remittance Policy penalty to the league for having three players suspended. The policy, however, is hard to find publicly.
- The Panthers and Giants become the 18th and 19th teams in the NFL to have at least one player suspended for the drug policy.
- 41 players have now been suspended for one or more offenses.
