Vontaze Burfict Fined $112,000 by NFL

Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was fined $112,000 for multiple plays that constituted unnecessary roughness in Cincinnati’s Week 6 game against Pittsburgh, including the plays involving the Steelers’ Antonio Brown (11:19 in 3rd quarter) and James Conner (5:17 in 3rd quarter).

Per Adam Scheffter

How is this guy not suspended? He's the dirtiest player in the league

I didn't see the hits Â

But if they felt he deserved a fine this hefty then he should be out. The NFL is so out of whack with the message they are trying to portray and what they actually do. If they are truly about player safety then there should be no Thursday night games and players like Burfict should be out of the league.

Because he truly doesn’t give a fuck. He’s been the same since his days at ASU. He’s a dirty player and, he doesn’t care one bit.

Fining him is like a slap on the wrist.

might be of interest to some with links to the hit in question along with a compilation of his body of work. He really needs to be banned.
Burfict is bad for the game. - ( New Window )

is so concerned about safety then gives Burfict a slap on the wrist. The real pain for players is suspension from games. This asshole deserves a long one.

This seems odd. Giants play the Bengals every 4 years.

That the league has fined Burfict over $410,000 since 2013. That's a ton of cash

When you include the game... Â

...checks lost for two 3 game suspensions for illegal hits as well as a 4 gamer for PEDs he's forfeited almost $4M over the last 2 years.
