A few former members of the New England Patriots are coming to Julian Edelman’s defense, after Shannon Sharpe asserted that the wide receiver is a “dirty player.”
Edelman was fined a total of $63,504 this weekend for three separate incidents during last Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, which was the second-most a player was been docked by the NFL for on-field incidents during a single game this season.
The three fines were one unnecessary roughness penalty — when Edelman blocked a Bills player after signaling for a fair catch (which he also did during Week 8 against Buffalo) and two uncalled crackback blocks.
