Raiders minority owner Tom Brady bashes the NFL’s fine system for on-field “mistakes”​

Published June 28, 2026 01:51 PM

It’s one thing for a former player or a broadcaster to comment on matters that fall within the realm of rights and obligations negotiated between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. It’s quite another for an owner to do it.

Tom Brady owns a piece of the Raiders. He’s part of management. In a recent podcast appearance, Brady shared his views on one of the collectively-bargained realities of playing in the NFL — the fine system for on-field infractions.

And Brady took a distinctly anti-management and pro-player position.

“What they start doing is they start fining you $50,000, $75,000,” Brady said on the Stick To Football podcast. “And I’m saying, like, I hate that. I hate the fact that, like, you sign a contract for $2 million a year, $5 million a year, and it’s so easy for someone to say, ‘Give me $75,000. Give me $50,000. Oh, it’s your second offense? That’s $100,000. That’s your third offense, $200,000.’ . . .

“What job is like that in the world? Where you make a mistake at your job, and they come in, they go, ‘Hey, we’re gonna take your salary away.’ And then people are like, ‘Yeah, you should take his salary away.’”

The NFL Players Association would wholeheartedly agree with this specific NFL owner. That’s the thing Brady needs to remember. Even when he’s not wearing his ownership hat, he’s still a member of ownership. And the NFL doesn’t like it when owners start saying things that could weaken certain rights the league has under the CBA.

Which means that, the next time Brady does an interview, someone should ask him what he thinks about grass versus turf. Or 18 regular-season games. Or reducing the players’ share of the revenue pie.

And the NFLPA should be paying close attention, and it should be taking notes.

just a couple that are lunacy
  • Deshaun Watson ($5 Million): Issued in 2022, this is the largest player-specific fine in league history. Alongside it, the quarterback was suspended for 11 games following multiple accusations of sexual misconduct during massage sessions. [1]
  • Marshawn Lynch ($1.2+ Million): Over his career, the former Seahawks running back accumulated over $1 million in fines for consistently refusing to speak to the media.
 
Brandon Marshall ($5,250): The Chicago Bears receiver was fined in 2013 for wearing green shoes to promote National Mental Health Awareness Month (which he suffers from himself).

And compare those in volume to ones for roughing/cheap shots. The latter is far more.

Watson should have had all his money taken away from him.

Lynch basically had a mandatory assignment and didn't complete it. How would that go over in "other work"? You're probably looking at a dismissal.

Marshall's is dumb. But you get docked pay/sent home or written up for uniform/dress issues at "other jobs" for violations there too.

The players basically just flaunt it because they can, while us little people can't.

Plenty of questionable calls that ended in fines too. It should be a suspension level incident for there to be a fine IMO.
 
Crosby was fined $11k for a late hit on Burrow. If you watch it he didn’t hear the whistle. It’s already a 15 yard penalty. What is the fine for?
