Sept 2013 for hitting a Packers player in the crotch after a play - $10k. $21k for a hit on a defenseless James Jones in the same game.
Oct 2013 - Had 3 personal fouls. One resulted in a $7,875 fine for a facemask on running back Fred Jackson.
Later Oct 2013 - $21000 for spearing Jets WR Stephen Hill.
Oct 2014 - $25000 for twisting Cam Newton and Greg Olson's ankles after a tackle.
Dec 2015 - Fines for 3 separate plays from the Steelers Game totaling $69,454.[/font][/size][/color]

Then came the Playoff Game against the Steelers in January where Burfict hit Brown and was suspended for 3 games. From what I can tell, this was Burfict's 1st Suspension.

October 2016 - fined $75000 for stomping NE RB LaGarrette Blount.
November 2016 - Fine $12,154 for flipping off fans against the Bills.

Thanks.

I didn't remember some of these fines. But from what I take from this now is Mitchell might still have another couple strikes before he's suspended.
But that's sad given there are multiple occasions where he should have been flagged and fined but got nothing, so in the eyes of the NFL, he's only on his third offense.
