Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - pally - 11-19-2023
Considering some of the really egregious hits that get small fines, this amount for a called-up practice squad player seems crazy

$43k is more than a gamecheck for a league minimum player ($41,667).
Practice squad league minimum (2 or less accrued years of NFL experience) is $12,000/week and practice squad veteran league minimum is $16,100/week.

One could almost think the NFL is already punishing the Bengals for ruining their New Year’s eve marquee matchup of Mahomes vs Burrow.

Good, that'll teach him to tackle inbounds next time.
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - pally - 11-19-2023
so he gets fined more than twice someone did with a blow to the head and more than CHido for ripping someone's helmet off
2 #Bengals players fined for actions in Houston game.

Chidobe Awuzie fined $10,927 for unnecessary roughness (ripping an opponent’s helmet off).
Stanley Morgan fined $43,709 for unnecessary roughness.
The only Houston fine was Will Anderson, $16,391 for a blow to Burrow’s head on the first play of the game.

No additional fine for Denzel Perryman beyond the suspension.

The fine is for hitting with the crown of the helmet. In or out of bounds is irrelevant. OP’s point is the amount of the fine is excessive in comparison to others. It was the second highest fine of the week. Hopefully reduced on appeal.

That’s insane.

After further research, it turns out fine amounts are predefined in the CBA. Something the NFLPA needs to work on.

they fined him like this was a 2nd offense. As far as I can tell
2019- 15 yards facemask
2021-15 yards unsportsmanlike conduct
2023- 10 yards-block in the back
15 yards-unnecessary roughness
Where is the 2nd offense for the hit?
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - tms - 11-19-2023
That is unbelievably harsh. Hope the Bengals pass the hat around to pay the fine. Worst case, maybe Chad'll step up for his brother.

Can the second offense go back that far? That would seem to unfairly penalize players for tenure as much as for the offenses. Idk tho
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - pally - 11-19-2023
makes you wonder how they will fine this play. Same player committed a horse collar and a facemask on the same play

Agree completely, that’s all his career penalties according to Pro Football Reference. So, if he appeals should be reduced to first offense $21,855 or possibly a maximum of 10% of his game check. Why would the NFL make such an egregious error? Answer = it’s the Bengals, so he must have done this before.
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - bfine32 - 11-19-2023
"Let's do Morgan a solid bring him up to earn a game check".
OK, that didn't work out. He paid $2K to play
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - George Cantstandya - 11-19-2023
When he appeals he will probably get the fine reduced because of his low salary. The CBA contains this language:

Quote:On appeal, a player may assert, among other defenses, that any fine should be reduced because it is excessive when compared to the player’s expected earnings for the season in question.
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - Ell Prez - 11-19-2023
Might be the first time I’ve ever felt bad for a professional athlete when it comes to finances. He doesn’t make that much. Cutting a check for $43k is gonna hurt. Would be cool to see some teammates pitch in $5k each to lessen the blow. If he wasn’t a PS call up, I would never say that. But when he’s not making much, at all, $43k is a lot.

Pretty sure that's not allowed. Now he maybe could find an "unmarked envelope" in his locker, but you have to pay your own fine.
RE: Stanley Morgan fined $43,000 - pally - 11-20-2023
Apparently Stanley has been fined before
Stanley Morgan said he was shocked he got fined for hit in Houston game and even more stunned so by the $46k amount. He is appealing. It’s his third career fine and he said he won his appeal to have the previous two reduced.

That's a special kind of talent right there.

You would hope.
