Bell fined $7,500 for face-mask penalty

Following Wednesday’s practice, RT Byron Bell returned to his locker, discovering a letter from the NFL. He was shocked by the content. For a face-mask penalty in the first quarter against the Redskins, Bell was fined $7,500. “How am I going to pay it?” Bell joked with a teammate.

That's a stupid fine. So now in addition to penalties on the field you get them off the field? The stern hand of Roger Godell is getting out of hand.

7K is a big portion of a game check for a player making (presumably) the rookie minimum especially one who given his family situation probebly wants to send as much money back home as possible.

It was a blatant facemask, but surprised at the fine.

Goodell's fines are getting out-of-hand.

Yea in the fact he does not fine people for cheap shots but then fines people for just accidents. Its fuging ridiculous, and how about fining the Refs when they fug up?

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
