2017 NFL Fine Schedule

The Kansas City Chiefs gave the officials a workout on Thursday night. 15 penalties for 139 yards! That's a lot of flag throwing. And the Chiefs still thumped the New England Patriots by 15 points. With penalties in mind and in advance of the NFL's first full slate of Sunday games it might be a fine time to take a look at what the players might be paying for doing what they shouldn't. These fines and more minutiae can be found on the Football Operations section NFL.com.

Starting 2012, fine minimums will increase by 5 percent as stipulated in the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement. The increases continue throughout the duration of the current CBA. For some reason, the league and players agreed not to bump up those minimums this year. This might be the first concession given the players since offseason workouts and training camp were made a breeze.
