It was announced on Monday that the Bucs’ newly-acquired defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh would be fined for a hit on the Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield during their preseason game in late August, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Suh was flagged for roughing the passer on the play and fined $21,056 for shoving Mayfield.

The fine is likely correlated to Suh’s past, as he’s been racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines throughout his career and been punished financially numerous times in the past for violating league rules.
Here is the hit in question.
