Trent Williams was fined $11,817 and Bryan Cook was fined $8,442.64 for a late-game fight

Trent Williams of the 49ers was ejected for a fight with Bryan Cook of the Chiefs late in the fourth quarter on Sunday, and both players were fined for the interaction.

The NFL fined Williams $11,817.00 and fined Cook an odd $8,442.64 for their actions.

Williams and Cook are both lucky the NFL discipline wasn’t more severe. It sets a dangerous precedent for the NFL to hand out lax penalties to players who throw cheap throws when they know the play is out of reach and a 15-yard penalty won’t affect the outcome of the game. Williams has made about $200 million in his career, so this fine is chump change for him. A suspension would have sent a message.

Deommodore Lenoir of the 49ers was also fined $11,817 for a cheap hit late in the fourth quarter.
