Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin fined $12,154 for middle finger salute to Darrell Bevell

Seahawk receiver Doug Baldwin was fined $12.154 for a one-fingered response delivered to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell after being asked to throw a touchdown pass rather than catch one in Sunday's game against the Eagles.

The one-fingered symbol that Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin flashed to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, signalling his “happiness” over a play call to throw a pass to Russell Wilson in the red zone, also proved somewhat costly.

It was confirmed Friday that Baldwin has been fined $12,154 by the NFL for what it considers an unsportsmanlike gesture (Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict also got the same fine for the same action in game last week).
