Ochocinco sent Foster a message on Twitter saying, “Great hit last night. If u’re fined I’ll reimburse u boss. That’s the way the game should be played. Stay healthy n have a good year.” Foster responded by saying, “Thanks Bruh, I appreciate it. Good luck to you too.”
However...NFL may not agree with his motive
Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco has offered to reimburse Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster if Foster is fined for his hit on Ochocinco in Thursday night’s game.
If Ochocinco follows through on that offer, he could be fined himself.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed to PFT that it is not permitted for a player to pay another player’s fine. Anyone who’s fined by the NFL has to pay the fine himself, and no kind of reimbursement, by anyone, is allowed.
So we’ll see next week if the NFL fines Foster for the hit, which drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. And then if Ochocinco follows through on his promise, we’ll see how much the NFL fines a player for paying the fine of another player.

wow. i just watched it. first that is a ridiculous penalty, and would be an embarrasing fine. this is why the players wanted a say in the punishment process.

You guys do understand that Goodell is not alone in these decisions.
