Patriots T Nate Solder Fined For Swinging At Steelers LB Jarvis Jones

Just prior to Week 1 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots left tackle Nate Solder signed a two-year contract extension worth $20.062 million. Solder, however, will now forfeit a little bit of that money due to him being fined.

According to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, Solder was fined $8,681 this week for his unnecessary roughness penalty against the Steelers in Week 1.
