Kenny Vaccaro fined $8k for Matt Ryan hit

Is there a consistency on fines though? Is there something that says if you get called for unnecessary roughness for hitting a sliding QB you always get fined 8k? Or is it discretionary depending on the level of the hit as decided by the league? If that's the case then the fines system is just BS.

I think its the level of the hit correlated with a % of the players salary that determines the amount fined.

Actually, I think it is tied to the salary of the player in a manner of speaking.
