I really don't care much if the organization, Tomlin or Rooney gets fined, because that doesn't diminish the team's chances. Losing draft status does.
The Steelers need to be very careful here. Harrison seems to be reversing his story now, but if another X Steelers who was disgruntled joins in, the optics will look really bad.
Covering players fines for hit could be viewed as a type of bounty. How deep this rabbit hole goes is unknown.
