We hope to find out very soon whether or not Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell will have his reported four-game suspension overturned after his appeal is finalized. Should, however, Bell’s suspension wind up standing, not only will the running back lose money, the Steelers will as well.
According to a policy created by the NFL that is aimed at promoting good player behavior, teams are forced to surrender a portion of a suspended player’s lost salary as a fine, if multiple players are suspended in a given year.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the policy requires the forfeiture of 15 percent of the lost salary when two players are suspended.
