Suspension Blotter: And the first Club Remittance check has to be written by...

(EDIT:  See August 18, 2018 post on the 2018 Club Remittance policies.)

If you had the New York Jets in your pool of the first team to be forced to pay a team fine for three or more suspensions:
  1. I want to know what you were smoking.
  2. You are correct!!
  • New York Jets:  Kevin Pierre-Louis: 1 game for substances of abuse.
Pierre-Louis becomes the third Jet to be suspended since July 25th!
  • Rashard Robinson:  Will lose $157,500 of salary for his 4-game suspension.  The Jets will have to pay a fine, based on previous seasons' rules, of $31,500.
  • ArDarius Stewart:  Will lose $74,066 of salary for his 2-game suspension.  The Jets will be fined $14,813.
  • Kevin Pierre-Louis:  Will lose $88,235 of salary for his 1-game suspension.  The fine for the Jets will be $17,647.
  • Meaning, as of right now, barring any more suspensions, the Jets are fined $63,960.
This is based on the previous seasons' rule that a team is fined 20% of all suspended salary once a team reaches 3 suspensions.  A fourth increases it to 25%.  A fifth increases it to 30%, with a maximum of $500,000.
