Jets Fined $125K By NFL For Favre Injury

The Jets will have to open their wallets for Brett Favre one more time.

The Jets have to pay up to $125,000 in fines for not listing Favre on the injury report when he suffered a torn bicep tendon late last season. The Jets franchise will have to pay $75,000, while General Manager Mike Tannenbaum and former coach Eric Mangini will have to pay $25,000 each.

The Jets were caught in the situation when Favre revealed that the team insisted on playing him even with a torn bicep tendon. It was later, revealed that the Jets kept Favre off the injury report during this time, leading to an investigation and the subsequent fines.

"I believe in following the rules, whether it's on the field of play or it's our policies," Goodell said. "We believe those rules should be followed, and if clubs don't, or other personnel don't, we will take disciplinary action. This is an important rule to the integrity of the game. All clubs are following the rule. And if someone violates it, we will discipline as we did with the Jets today."
