Cameron Jordan isn’t the only guy who got fined today. According to Jourdan Rodrigue at the Athletic, Panthers safety Tre Boston has been hit with a substantial $56,126 fine for his penalty against Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. in last week’s loss.
This wasn’t hard to see coming. Boston himself predicted that he’d get fined by the NFL a few days ago.
The fine itself is no great surprise, but the amount seems a bit excessive considering Jordan’s fine for punching Kyle Allen in the head was only $38,602.
How much the league fines players has always been capricious. Name power and position seem to be considerable factors. If Jordan’s hit on Kyle Allen had actually been on a star like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, you can bet his fine would have been heftier. Whereas if it had been on Cam Newton, a flag might not have been thrown at all.
Safeties like Boston seem to get the shaft more than every other position given the nature of what they have to do to compete. This was Boston’s second fine of the 2019 season. He picked up another one for a hit on 49ers tight end George Kittle earlier this year.
