Formally, every of Nabers’ fines value 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 broad 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 another way and that’s all that issues ultimately.
For Nabers, it’s each his first and second NFL tremendous. He’ll doubtless be suggested to keep away from comparable conditions and celebrations sooner or later or danger escalating fined no matter interpretation or which means.
