Bruce Irvin fined $7k for hit on Carr (2 Viewers)

I saw the play but didn’t watch the game. Did they get penalized for the hit?

Yeah, roughing the passer.

 

[Madmarsha]

That'll teach him.

 

[J.T.]

The story says that he says he was fined "$7,000" for the hit. I think Irvin might be "math challeged" and rounded up to the nearest thousand. By my math, if this was his first offense, he was actually fined exactly $6,472.20.

An NFL player can only be fined a maximum of 10% of their game check for a first time offense. Irvin had been on the practice squad and had been elevated to the active roster for this one game. His game check was $64,722 for this one game.

I have also included a link for all of the roughing the passer fines so far this year. Many of these players have far higher game checks and some may be repeat offenders.

Oh, he can automatically reduce his fine by 25% if he watches a five minute video after the season. Talk about a great hourly rate!

I’m guessing the low fine has to do with Irvin’s low salary.

Quit making sense when we are outraged!

Good thing he wasn't wearing "man of God" headband when he pummeled Carr! Fine would have been $37k

Bruce Irvin says he was fined only $7K for hit on Derek Carr

Lions pass rusher Bruce Irvin got off pretty easy for the hit that knocked Saints quarterback Derek Carr out of Sunday's game.

Seems a little light for slamming him to the ground with all of hid body weight

Man, I just saw a vid of a kid getting his credentials suspended by the NFL following a Tarik Hill Celebration, where he took the phone and did a back flip then gave it back to him. NFL Told the kid, even if he didn't know the celebration was coming he shouldn't have jumped up and down following the TD.

Like what lol.

Seems like players have been fined more for just thinking about hits less than this hit.

I’m sure he spends more than that on a night out with his crew

 

[SAINT BIGAL]

They should sign me up for one play a game. I can purposely concuss the opposing QB and walk away with a fine not more than a penny over $13.

 

[Plow]

Easy business decision for Irvin - knock out the opposing QB for the win and pay a measly $7K.

So absurdly low it's an incentive for Irvin to do it again.

 

[mr.t]

We’ve had guys fined more for hits that were way less vicious and purposeful.

The Saints are on the bad list even after CSP left
