Fine and Suspension Blotter: Some catch-up for Week 6...

A couple more from Spotrac:
  • New England Patriots:  Chase Winovich:  $7,017 for throwing a ball into the stands.
  • Atlanta Falcons:  Vic Beasley:  $21,056 for a horse-collar tackle.
And a suspension that is going to be another fine:
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers:   Terry Beckner, Jr.:  4 games for PEDs.
Though he's on the practice squad (and hence the hit is only $32,000) -- talk about trying to desperately hang on!! -- it triggers a 15% fine not only on his lost salary, but on the $511,303.75 Spotrac has as lost salary from Ryan Smith's PED suspension.

So the Bucs are then fined $81,949.  (More than half that Beckner is making on the practice squad.  Be somewhat surprised if he's not cut the instant the suspension is over.)
