Fined for crack block vs. Saints, Odell Beckham Jr. facing suspension if he's flagged again
It makes a little more sense now why New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said he would walk away if things got a little too intense between he and Washington cornerback Josh Norman on Sunday: Beckham doesn’t have much choice.
Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported before the game that Beckham was fined $36,000 this week for a dirty hit on New Orleans’ Kenny Vaccaro
Odell fined $36,000 for blindside crack block away from play versus Saints Kenny Vaccaro, very little wiggle room now for any UR today

Here’s video of what Beckham did to Vaccaro:

As Glazer notes, Beckham’s fine was so high because he’s a repeat offender; if the Giants’ Pro Bowler loses his cool again on Sunday when facing Norman and draws another unnecessary roughness penalty, and if the league determines it to be on par with that hit on Vaccaro, Beckham could be suspended.
