The obvious price of allegedly faking an damage within the NFL: Greater than $500,000.
The NFL slapped fines on the Saints’ group, two coaches and defensive finish Cameron Jordan, ESPN reported Saturday, after the league decided Jordan faked an damage Monday night time.

The Saints will probably be interesting the fines and “deny any allegations of purposefully delaying the sport,” the staff stated Saturday.
Tampa Bay was driving, and after a third-and-17 play, Tom Brady lined up below heart in a hurry-up offense on fourth-and-10. In accordance with Professional Soccer Discuss, Jordan “appeared to the sideline, took a knee, and pointed to his decrease left leg.” The report cited one other digital camera angle that the league felt confirmed the sideline directing Jordan to go down.

“Costliest positive thus far from the @NFL got here in yesterday… added stressor for no motive,” Jordan tweeted. “Are fines made by nfl open to public? I simply really feel like this must be public information. ‘Trigger among the fines are foolish however this 1… ridiculous. Anyhow & for what a “deliberate motion to delay sport” earlier than a [team] punts?
