NFL Fines Exceed $350,000 in Recent Weekend
The NFL is trying to reduce the number of penalties for bad behavior on the field. But instead, they’re sending out a lot of fine notices every week.
After Week 5, they fined 29 players from 18 different teams. The fines varied from $4,843 given to Reed Blankenship for playing too rough, to A.J. Epenesa’s $21,855 fine for a hit on a quarterback.
In total, the NFL handed out fines worth $358,357 this week. It’s important to mention that this money usually goes to programs that help former NFL players, not into the pockets of the team owners.
