Ongoing Investigation May Lead to Tom Brady Pay Heavily for It

NFL legend, Tom Brady, just broke the streak of losses against the Falcons on Sunday. However, it seems like the troubles have just started for the five-time Super Bowl MVP. Brady got involved in a nasty physical altercation during the match with Grady Jarrett. Although the referee decided in favor of the Bucs on the field, the NFL authority started a probe regarding the incident. There are concerns that Brady might have tried to kick Jarret just after the incident.

If the NFL finds Brady guilty of intentionally kicking Garrett, a fine of up to $10,500 might be imposed on him. According to the NFL rules, the fine for kicking is $10,500 for a first offense and $15,500 for a second.

Every Friday, the NFL notifies the players of the fines they are going to get, if any. For being penalized for ‘Roughing the passer’, Grady Jarrett already has to pay a fine. Fine for ‘Roughing the passer’ is $10,000 for the first offense of the season and $20,000 for the second.

With the Bucs leading 21-15 vs the Falcons in the fourth quarter, Jarrett sacked Brady. However, to everyone’s dismay, the referee penalized Garrett. What could have been a turning point for the Falcons to gain momentum and salvage anything from the match, became an easy win for the Bucs.

“I’m not saying that it cost us the game, but it cost us an opportunity to win the game and if it’s costing people games, it’s going to cost people livelihoods. Going to cost people’s opportunities. You never know who is going to go down and make a crazy play,” Garrett told after the game.

After the sack, Brady tried to kick Garrett. However, it didn’t hit him.

Meanwhile, Brady had his say on this matter, too. “It was a long hug. A long, unwelcome hug from Grady,” Brady said on his “Let’s Go” podcast. “He was in the backfield all day. As I said after the games, I don’t throw flags. What I do throw is tablets. He had a hell of a game. I’ll leave it at that.”

On MNF, a similar incident happened too in the Chiefs vs the Raiders game. The Chiefs’ DL Chris Jones got penalized for slamming the Raiders QB Derek Carr.
