NFL discipline in the Ben Roethlisberger case will include a six-figure fine for the Pittsburgh Steelers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Shefter says he has learned the behavior of Roethlisberger and former-Pittsburgh receiver Santonio Holmes will lead to a fine of about $200,000 for the team. The ESPN report says the fine won't be levied until after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decides whether to punish Roethlisberger for the behavior that led to an accusation -- but no charges -- of sexual assault.
The fine will be part of Goodell's effort to re-emphasize the importance and possible consequences of the league's conduct policy, Schefter says.
