Participants of the New Orleans Saints and Jessie Bates of the Cincinnati Bengals are being asked to pay up by the NFL. Heavy penalties hail for all parties for feigned injuries.

Munich – According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the NFL is handing out fat penalties for faking injuries. The New Orleans Saints are affected, with several players being asked to pay, and Jessie Bates of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Saints as an organisation will have to pay $350,000, with Cameron Jordan ($50,000), defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen ($50,000) and head coach Dennis Allen ($100,000) each receiving individual fines.

In a statement, the franchise denied these allegations of deliberate delay of game.

New Orleans Saints: hefty fine for franchise and Cam Jordan

Jordan himself, who the NFL says is faking the injury, also took to Twitter to call the punishment “ridiculous.” He said he suspects the league probably wants to get a “new luxury watch or something” from it

Are fines made by nfl open to public? I just feel like this should be public knowledge. Cause some of the fines are silly but this 1… ridiculous. Anyways; for what a “deliberate action to delay game” before a tm punts? NFL just wanted a new patek aquanaut or summ… not off me

The scene occurred midway through the fourth quarter when the Buccaneers rushed to the line of scrimmage on a 4th-and-10. Jordan went down with an injury. The ensuing stoppage of play forced the Bucs to punt as a result.

According to Mike Florio of “Pro Football Talk,” TV footage reportedly showed Jordan being “signaled from the sideline. “

Jessie Bates: Bengals star with bizarre action

Even a day earlier, Bengals’ Jessie Bates seemingly drove it into his bones all of a sudden. The Bengals threatened to blow a late substitution and would have risked a penalty for “Twelfth Men on the Field.”

Bates also collected a $50,000 fine for this action, according to the report. According to Pelissero, however, he plans to appeal it.

The NFL had issued a notice just a week ago to more consistently punish “intentional actions to delay the game.”
