Week 15 Supplemental Discipline: ANOTHER dirty-hit suspension

Another illegal hit on Green Bay's Davante Adams, and, for the second time this year, the hitter is suspended...

And he's a repeat offender, so:
  • Carolina Panthers:  Thomas Davis is suspended the final two games (on appeal:  one game) of the season for a flagrant blindside defenseless player hit.
Memo to the Packers:  You're soft, and you're seen as a team that teams can take cheap shots on.

That's at least the FOURTH suspension-level or near-suspension-level hit you've taken this season.

Suspension costs him $243,051, so that would be a $50,000 Club Remittance penalty.

Adams becomes the ninth player (Iloka's was appealed down to a fine) suspended by the NFL this season for on the field stuff. Five of them have been assessed since Thanksgiving.

Davis is a TWO-TIME LOSER and TWO BIG TIMES this year -- he was already Repeat Offender when he got nailed in Week 8, so that fine was already doubled to $48,620 -- so he's responsible for $98,620 of the over $150,000 Carolina is responsible for...

Meaning he's about 3/4 of the reason Carolina has two $50,000 checks to cut -- one for the responsible part of his lost salary, the other for accumulated fines to the first threshold.  Carolina now becomes the ELEVENTH NFL team this year to reach at least one threshold.  And there's still three Fine Fridays left.
