DK Metcalf has been hit with yet another fine.

DK Metcalf has quickly become one of the most interesting wide receivers in the league. When he came into the league, many were concerned about his speed and route-running. After all, he has a very large frame for a wide receiver, and some felt like that would not translate to the NFL.

Subsequently, all of those detractors were proven wrong. Metcalf immediately made a huge impact on the Seahawks, and he is still one of their best players. Additionally, he is responsible for some pretty amazing highlights. Overall, fans of the team are very happy to have him.

DK Metcalf Fined Again

Just a couple of weeks ago, Metcalf found himself in a compromising situation as he was fined upwards of $30K. This was the result of his complaints in regard to the officiating. He was mad about a missed pass interference call, and the league office immediately hit him where it hurts.

Subsequently, Metcalf has been fined again. This time, however, it is for an on-the-field incident with Jalen Ramsey. While playing against the Los Angeles Rams last week, Metcalf head-butted Ramsey after some intense play. Consequently, the league office reviewed the footage and gave Metcalf a cool $10K fine.

For Metcalf, this punishment isn't so bad considering he has already made a lot of money in the NFL. He signed a huge contract this offseason which gave him a $30 million signing bonus. Additionally, he is making over $8 million this season. Overall, he can definitely afford these latest punishments.
