Johnny Manziel’s Monday night middle finger didn’t go unnoticed — or unpunished — by the league office.
The NFL docked Manziel $12,000 for his gesture in the third quarter of Monday’s game at Washington, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday. The hand signal was caught by the ESPN cameras and went viral in a snap.
As PFT’s Mike Florio points out, Manziel can appeal to have the fine reduced to 25 percent of his weekly salary of $24,705. That would cut the fine roughly in half.
Manziel will enter the regular season as the Browns’ backup quarterback after Brian Hoyer was named the club’s starter earlier this week.
