NFL imposes a 550K fine for a Cam Jordan ''Fake injury''
The NFL sent out a memo earlier this week about establishing a new rule concerning NFL players faking injuries just to help out their team and giving them a "free" timeout.
Well, it looks like the first victim of the rule is Saints' de Cameron Jordan.
Indeed, the NFL has decided that, on Monday, December 5, Saints defensive end Cam Jordan faked an injury. NBC Sports reported that Jordan was fined $50,000. His position coach, Ryan Nielsen, also was fined $50,000. Coach Dennis Allen was fined $100,000. And the Saints were fined $350,000.
The incident happened after a third-and-17 play by the Buccaneers, midway through the fourth quarter. When quarterback Tom Brady lined up the offense for fourth and 10, Jordan looked to the sideline, took a knee, and pointed to his lower left leg.
I think that if the NFL keeps handing out fines over half a million dollars for a fake injury, players will start to be a lot more careful about that kind of thing...
