The spring OTAs period saw three teams violate rules set forth by the league's collective bargaining agreement. The NFL responded with fines for the trio of clubs and their head coaches Thursday.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers were each fined for offseason workout violations, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. Jacksonville drew the largest fine at $200,000, while San Francisco and Dallas were each fined $100,000.
Accordingly, new Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer was docked $100,000 for violations, while Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan each received $50,000 fines.
All three teams will also have to forfeit an undisclosed amount of OTA days in 2022, Garafolo added.
Specifics of the violations are unknown, though they typically center on intensity of practice sessions and resulting contact. Players are in shorts, jerseys and helmets during these sessions, meaning contact is expected to be minimal if not nonexistent.
Two 49ers were injured during OTAs: offensive lineman Justin Skule and defensive back Tarvarius Moore. Each suffered injuries that will likely keep them out for the 2021 season.

Urban Meyer gets fined for breaking a rule: I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise. Meyer has yet to meet a rule that he hasn’t broken yet. I’m sure the NFL rule book he received from the league, is being used as a coaster for guests at his home. |

I thought it was his equivalent of the joke book most of us keep in the lav, for private reading...  |

“live contact violations.”
I've heard it will cost the Cowboys a week of OTA's next year. Excessive but expected from the League FO.

It could also be players looking out for their health in a brutal sport where the average earnings capabilities is measured in a couple years. If the league (and the teams) agreed to certain rules with the union, then those rules should be adhered to just like salary cap, PED testing, etc. |

Or it could be that the league has means to monitor OTA's and can make whatever calls they want to on being "too physical". In the case of the Cowboys it was the interior OL and WR on DB's
