They do something pretty neat at the spotrac.com website. They list all of the league fines for every player – and not only for the 2016 season, but going all the way back to 2002.
With this data, you can look at who’s getting fined the most, and what the fines are for. Antonio Brown, for example, is a guy who apparently would rather just pay a league fine rather than limit his touchdown celebrations. He’s been fined 10 times in his career.
It’s kind of interesting to look at. By my count, 35 players have been fine at least five times in their careers. And fines have increased dramatically in recent years.
Brown, Odell Beckham, Josh Norman and Ndamukong Suh are the only four who’ve been fined at least nine times. Of that group, Suh is about $300,000 ahead of the others – his fines have been larger.
