APGiants running back Brandon Jacobs and Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson hit each other on the field in their preseason meeting, and now the NFL is hitting both of them in the wallets.
Jacobs has been fined $20,000 and Wilkerson has been fined $10,000, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
The heavier fine for Jacobs is apparently because he’s considered a repeat offender. Jacobs’ previous fines include $20,000 for a verbal altercation with Eagles fans and $10,000 for throwing his helmet in the stands.
So Jacobs would be wise to try keeping his temper in check. For his part, Wilkerson has already said that he doesn’t regret the altercation.

I ain’t got no money.
Jacobs would beat his ass.
Rex Ryan was later quoted as saying, “$10,000, thats a lot of foot massages.”
So let me get this straight:
$10,000 fine for “hitting eachother”
$20,000 fine for failing to stop a colision while in mid-air when a receiver happens to drop a pass
$25,000 for punching a player
Man, Goodell really messed this one up.
Jacobs can’t keep his temper in check. Here within lies the problem.
Steeler fans are appalled at these fines.
Has anybody else noticed how small Jacobs head is? Im just saying….
The purse for the Jacobs/Wilkerson match is set at $30,000.
Some professional boxers don’t even make that much in a fight.
jacobs needs to be suspended
Had either of these gents played for the World Champ and current NFL darling Packers they would have got 15 yards…
talk to their agents…
why is there a Dolphin logo in the address bar for this site? I don’t want that discusting filth on my computer screen, it’s making me sick.
Goodell hasn’t done 1 thing 2 make this game better. He is only making it worse. I truly hate the man. He’s messin with my sport.
Tiki is flabbergasted
Jacobs should get a credit to his account for the verbal confrontation with an Eagles fan.
Tiki is devastated and flabbergasted over this…
That’s a expensive “hit”…..
As ive said before i loved it how Mo Wilk didnt take crap from BJ. Hes a tough rookie with a nasty reputation. Cant wait to see what kind of yr he has.
Goodell needs to go.
