The NFL is expected to fine Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph $50,000 -- more than an entire game check -- for his role in last week's fight with Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Saturday.
Rudolph, in the second year of his rookie deal, has a base salary of $658,267, which means his weekly check is $38,721.59 per game. He has said that he'd accept any discipline from the NFL, but Rudolph can appeal to have the fines reduced under NFL rules if they are deemed to be "excessive when compared to the player's expected earnings for the season in question.
