The NFL has fined Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett $7,500 for his elbow to the throat of Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.

The league said the fine was for "roughing the passer."

Seattle coach Jim Mora had complained that it was a dirty play by Dockett, who responded it was an accident. Dockett said he has too much respect for Hasselbeck to ever intentionally hurt the Seahawks quarterback.

The incident occurred while Hasselbeck was lying on his back during Arizona's 31-20 victory over Seattle last Sunday.

  $7500.00? Seriously??

  Dockett almost put our QB to sleep in a choke and he gets a $7500.00 fine? Add a few zeros to that and make it a $75,000.00 fine. Paaaaleeease! Maybe Kearney can put Favre in an Amaplata on the first play and snap his shoulder out to give the Hawks a fighting chance.
