[Week 10] Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner fined $17,389 for landing on Lamar Jackson with his full body weight

Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner will find his upcoming paychecks more than $34,000 lighter, due to a pair of infractions against the Ravens in Week 10.

Turner was fined $17,389 for roughing the passer in the second quarter of the loss to Baltimore. He landed on quarterback Lamar Jackson with his full body weight.

Turner also was fined $17,389 for a hip-drop tackle of kicker returner Justice Hill on the opening kickoff of the game.

A penalty was called on the roughing violation. No flag was thrown for the hip-drop violation.

And, yes, the two fines exceed Turner’s sack total for the year, at 1.5. It’s a fact of which Vikings fans have been keenly aware, especially since Jared Verse was on the board when Turner was selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2024 draft.

By skipping offseason workouts, Lamar Jackson forfeits another $750,000

By skipping offseason workouts, Lamar Jackson forfeits another $750,000 : Ravens coach John Harbaugh may not be measuring quarterback Lamar Jackson ’s attendance at offseason workouts. But someone with the Ravens surely is. Jackson’s 2023 contract includes separate $750,000 workout bonuses in 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. To get the money, he has to show up for at least 80 percent of the workouts. Last year, Jackson didn’t participate in the requisite sessions. This year, he hasn’t done it, either. The loss of the $750,0000 workout bonus drops Jackson’s 2025 compensation from $43.5 million to $42.75 million. Which makes it a small piece of his total wage pie. Still, $750,000 is $750,000. While it’s his decision to give up the money if he so chooses, there’s another wrinkle to keep in mind. If Jackson is ta...
