That's one way to interpret it and certainly how the Seahawks fans see it....

Difficult to imagine how a fight breaks out in no contact walk throughs. Perhaps Sherman was mugging a receiver at the line of scrimmage that was trying to make the team?

I would interpret it this way.

1. The no contact rule in the CBA was put there by the players, not the league. Live by the sword....

2. The Seahawks are repeat offenders, they are being fined because this isn't the first offense.

3. Sherman got in a fight with a receiver but it was due to the excessive contact before the fight. How does a fight break out in no contact drills? Combine Sherman, PEDs, and excessive contact.

4. There is video of the excessive contact leading up to the fight I hear.

Watch the video.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch.
