GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The NFL either cracked down harder on the Green Bay Packers this past season, or they were guilty of more egregious infractions -- or perhaps both.
Whatever the case, Packers players were fined at least $185,348 during the 2016 season (including playoffs). That’s more than the previous two seasons combined. In 2015, they had four player fines that totaled $52,088. In 2014, it was six player fines for $88,197.
Seven of the fines, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ from the NFC Championship Game, were facemask penalties that carried a $9,115 dock in pay.
