Julian Edelman says he’s appealing two of his recent fines from the league

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman revealed Sunday he is appealing two of the three fines he received for separate incidents of unnecessary roughness in the first quarter against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16.

Edelman was hit with the trio of charges — worth $10,026, $26,739, and $26,739 for a total of $63,504 — as a result of blocking after a fair-catch signal and levying a pair of illegal crackback blocks. Against the Bills, he was flagged for unnecessary roughness only once. In Week 8, also against the Bills, Edelman was fined $26,739 for utilizing another illegal block after a fair-catch signal.
