The NFL recently announced that Cobb will be fined nearly $14,000 for his late hit on Bobby McClain.

The fine comes as the result of a blindside block on the defender after a teammate caught a pass.

Rodgers is heard telling Cobb that he “Lost all of his training camp money” and this “isn’t 2014”.

The late hit in a preseason game came off as unnecessary, but McClain was also fined after the hit.
