Formally, every of Nabers’ fines price him $14,069.
The very second Nabers celebrated, it was evident the league would ship him a FedEx package deal requesting a examine. Per week prior, they fined Atlanta Falcons large receiver Drake London $14,069 for the same infraction they deemed a “machine gun-like” celebration.
Maybe they each had been pretending to shoot Tremendous Soakers? Or possibly a potato gun? The NFL interpreted every celebration in a different way and that’s all that issues ultimately.
For Nabers, it’s each his first and second NFL effective. He’ll doubtless be suggested to keep away from comparable conditions and celebrations sooner or later or threat escalating fined no matter interpretation or that means.
