What players could be fined for during the 2014 NFL season

story

The other day the NFL released their updated list of finable offenses and the monetary value of those fines. The numbers are at a minimum so obviously depending on how serious the offense or the player in question that number could go up.

It’s probably noteworthy to point out that the league didn’t have any specific fine for ‘gang signing’ which I’m assuming has at least something to do with what has come out about Aaron Hernandez.

For comparison’s sake here’s last year’s list (via CSN Bay Area):
