What Cardinals Player Paid the Most in NFL Fines in 2024?

Editorial Staff Profile Picture
Fact Checked by Thomas Leary

The Arizona Cardinals playoff chances faded over the course of last season due to a variety of reasons, including a difficult second-half schedule. But as the team looks to improve ahead of next season, an easy way to do so is to avoid penalties - and in effect - fines. 

Using data from Spotrac.com, BetArizona.com examined Arizona Cardinals player fines from last season. We then identified the player with the highest total and calculated what they could have purchased with that money.

Cardinals safety Joey Blount this past season took the unfortunate title of most-fined player as a result of two facemask infractions in Week 6 against Green Bay and Week 9 against the Chicago Bears. 

Blount, 26 years old out of Virginia, is not typically a penalty maverick, having just been called for 6 flags in his career over three seasons. Unfortunately for him, last year he made a generous donation of over $22,000 to the NFL's headquarters on Park Ave.
