Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb just doesn't know why the NFL keeps fining him, and not for some meager amount of money. The issue took the spotlight once again after Aaron Rodgers was fined just $14,650 for violating the league's COVID-19 protocols.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Lamb admitted that he finds it “confusing” that he is always getting fined for various reasons. According to an ESPN report, the Cowboys wideout has already lost $50,000 this season, mostly due to uniform violations with his jersey untucked.
Apparently, should Lamb be found violating the uniform rules again (untucked jersey and all), he'll have to pay up $46,350.
“Annoy me? Nah. Confuse me a lot? Very much so yes,” the Cowboys WR shared. “I just don't understand why I'm always the one getting fined for some reason. Untucked jersey. I don't know.
“Like, I don't know what I need to do honestly. I just know for sure I'm more conscious of it. … Post-tackle or anything, I guess I got to look down, pull my jersey down. Stuff like that. It's weird. It's very weird, considering the next time I get caught with my jersey untucked, I heard I get fined like $50,000 or something. That's weird.”
For what it's worth, it's not only CeeDee Lamb who is confused about his fines–well, in relation to the amount of money that is. After Aaron Rodgers was fine nearly $15,000 for his COVID-19 protocol violations, several people took to Twitter to express their bewilderment.
As former NFL QB and now TV analysts Chris Simms said, it's not a good look for the NFL even though the enforcement rules are different. Many Twitter users shared the same sentiment.
CeeDee Lamb was fined $20k for having his jersey untucked last week. Aaron Rodgers was fined $14k for ignoring COVID protocols all season. I get the enforcement rules are different, but it just looks bad and doesn't add up.

So the NFL fines CeeDee Lamb 20k for an untucked jersey, but Aaron Rodgers was fined 14k for lying about being vaccinated. What?

Is CeeDee Lamb being unfairly treated? Well, a lot of fans can make a case for that given how much has already been taken from the Cowboys youngster.
Lamb, however, can certainly do something since most of his fines were from uniform violations. Hopefully, though, the NFL becomes more consistent when it comes to imposing fines
