Cameron Jordan’s ejection from Week 15’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t just hurt his team: the punch he threw also cost him $10,500 in a fine from the NFL office, as first reported by Amie Just for Nola.com.
While Jordan was able to find a silver lining by using his early exit to join his family for the birth of his daughter, it’s still a critical mistake he won’t soon repeat. He’s owned up to losing his cool and continued to do what he can to help his teammates.
Additionally, Just reported that the NFL fined Saints linebacker Demario Davis for grabbing Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell by the face mask — an error that cost him $10,000. That may seem like a stretch, but it’s important to remember that face mask penalties are personal fouls subject to fines.
