Bengals' Iloka on fine: 'I played for free'

Cincinnati Bengals safety George Iloka was fined $15,000 by the league for his Week 3 hit on the Packers' Jermichael Finley and he's not happy about it.

“He was coming at me head first (Finley) and I was just trying to make a play on the ball and knock it out with my hand and his head happened to hit my lower bicep area and caused a concussion,” Iloka said.

Iloka is set to make $480,000 this season and thought the fine was too steep based on his salary.

"Pretty much, I played for free last week," Iloka exlaimed.
