Josh's taunt & TD's hit = Odell's punch?

[O-Ther]

Odell punched Buffalo safety Duke Williams in their game this past Sunday and was fined $8,681.00  Here is the video

Odell upset he was legally de-cleated during INT return

Josh was fined the same amount for waving at Jags QB while heading to the endzone. TD Sr. was also fined the same amount for landing on a player late. Is it just me or does it feel like Odell is getting exceptionally light treatment when compared to our guys? If the NFL would add a game or two suspension to Odell's fine, it would seem more fair, but as it is, seems like a large-market team's player is getting preferential treatment from the league again.

lol TD did not land on a player late. He threw his body at the guy after he was tackled. It was a blatant late hit.

i don't think the nfl is actively deciding that these actions are equivalent. the penalty probably encompasses a wide variety of offenses and penalizes them uniformly, regardless of where on the scale of bad to awful the offense actually falls.

maybe the nfl should review that policy though.

They were all fined the minimum

Unless it could be argued that he hurt a big tough football player's feeling so much it felt like a late hit or a punch, Norman's "offense" wasn't even in the same realm. TD's late hit probably was on par with the punch (if not worse, if you actually saw the punch...).

ODBJ is a bitch made punk. Still want him though.

Damn, I didn't realize you had to cough up 17 grand for a horse collar tackle.  But I don't see taunting on this list.

That list only encompasses offenses against officials and player safety rules violations. Taunting would be under a separate section not shown in the image that would also include offensive celebrations like Von Miller's thrusting.

unless it is something outside the box/game....all actions and punishments are spelled out pretty clear in regards to actual "football" fines/punishments.

also, you could easily argue what Davis did was much more dangerous than Beckham.

Those fines seem pretty tiny considering what these guys make and that some of these offenses can end someones season or career.

Median salary in the NFL is only $800k-ish. Only the select few who make it to their 2nd contract make huge money. 1% of their entirely yearly income is pretty significant.
