It’s bad enough when the league throws flags for roughing the passer when there was no . roughing on the passer there. It’s worse when they then turn around and fine the players for it. That’s what happened to Raiders rookie defensive end, Maxx Crosby. Today an NFL spokesman informed Crosby he was being fined $21,056. The fourth round pick makes just under $30K per game as it is, so that fine is pretty brutal.
The flag for roughing the passer came on a hit he laid on Patrick Mahomes in last Sunday’s game between the Raiders and Chiefs.
