NFL players make a lot of money, everyone knows this, but what fans often forget is how many of these players can lose a large chunk of their paycheck for misconduct both on and off the field.
This was the case for Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Bud Dupree as he was fined $21,056 for a late hit to the head of Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson during their Week 2 contest at Heinz Field.
