Olsen accused Burfict of taking cheap shots at him, quarterback Newton and wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin.

“Punishment needs to go beyond a fine,” Olsen said, via ESPN. “Guys like that don’t learn from that stuff. He’s been fined a 100 times for head-hunting, and he did it to Kelvin [Benjamin] again. You watch the film; that’s just what he is.

“At some point, if the NFL wants to really say they care about guys’ safety, they’ve got to start putting guys out for weeks. Me and Cam are lucky we aren’t out for weeks, or Kelvin isn’t out for weeks. If you’re going to start putting guys on other teams out, then the ramifications need to equal that.”

In a photo that surfaced online, it appears that Burfict was using a heel hook that would make any mixed martial arts fighter proud.

While the photo may be deceiving, it is being used to call Vontaze Burfict a dirty player.
