On Thursday’s PFT Live, NFL executive V.P. of football operations Troy Vincent confirmed that Broncos linebacker Justin Strnad will be fined for his conduct after Sunday’s win over the Giants.

On Friday, Broncos coach Sean Payton didn’t want to address the subject.

“I’m not going to comment on that because over the years I’ve learned it doesn’t matter,” Payton told reporters. “My opinion relative to that doesn’t matter.”

Vincent, in discussing the decision to suspend Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw, mentioned that Strnad will “be held accountable,” and that it come in the form of a fine.

All fines for on-field misconduct during the prior weekend of football are announced by the NFL on Saturday afternoons.

It’s still unclear why Strnad wasn’t suspended for making contact with Allen, given that Greenlaw was suspended for conduct that included no contact. The fact that Strnad is being fined shows that the league didn’t believe it was inadvertent or accidental.
