As we reported on Wednesday, Pats defensive tackle Vince “I’m Not A Dirty Player Because I Take A Bubble Bath Before Every Game” Wilfork won’t be suspended in the wake of his most recent episode of unnecessary roughness, which came in the form of an elbow to the head of Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler.
We’re now told that Wilfork will be fined $35,000 for his transgression.
Based on a salary of $1.4 million, the fine is roughly equivalent to 40 percent of a game check.
If Wilfork doesn’t make good on his vow to change his ways, the next step undoubtedly will be a suspension.
