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

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.

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.

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...).

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.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By strato · Posted

      I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

      https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
