I wonder if they would have done the samething if it was someone like Horn or Brown who made the hit. A top draft pick.

Hell no, this was a guy who already well on the fringes and unlikely to make the roster so they figured they may as well use him to send a message.

"I just felt bad," Ibe said. "I looked at him when I landed, and I just felt bad. I asked the trainers to tell him I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit him like that. It wasn't intentional at all and I'm praying he's OK."
"Obviously, I'm in an emotional state right now, but at the end of the day it's not about me — it's about Keith being OK."

I saw the hit and it didn't look that bad to me. I kept replaying it to see if there was something I missed.

This. Bubble guys have zero room for error. I think it was Arians that cut someone for parking in the wrong spot a few years back.

That is why I don't blame these guys for holding out or wanting more $ once they make it.
Without security your are toast in the NFL.

I don't think an illegal hit qualifies as "can hit". It's more like can get flagged.

Yeah. Odds are that wasn't his first f**k up either.
