    Dupree said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, that he has been fined as a result of the hit, which drew a flag for roughing the passer during the game. Dupree said he wasn’t sure of the amount of the fine — the NFL’s fine schedule calls for a minimum fine of $18,231 for a first roughing the passer offense — but that he plans to appeal it.

    Moore played out the rest of the game and said after the game that he “got smoked,” but felt confident that he did not sustain a concussion.

    Can't say I'm surprised, especially with the newer, softer NFL. Dupree doesn't have any history of crossing the line of necessary roughness that I've seen, so I don't think it was a hit with malicious intent. That said, it was definitely penalty-worthy.

    I beg to differ. Dupree hit a few guys high during the game with a little extra stank on it. He got lucky he was only flagged once.

    Yeah, I think the opinions are about mixed here.

    I, for one, don't think it was malicious. It was a violent hit and, as you said, flag worthy, but I don't hold any grudge against Dupree.

    What are they adding the extra $231 dollars at the end for? Administration fees?

    Probably due to a baseline amount set years ago that was proportionally increased based on year-over-year salary cap increases / league revenue performance, etc. Just my speculation.

    Welcome to the forums!

    It was meant as more of a tongue-in-cheek rhetorical.

    Agree with the caveat that it was illegal by nature (QB's head area being affected), not intent.
