(Crankers) Superstar defensive lineman Jalen Carter spit on Dak Prescott in the NFL season opener. Carter got ejected before he played a single snap, but the Eagles still pulled out a victory.
The NFL decided to fine Jalen Carter and considered his ejection to be just as good as a one game suspension. Carter didn’t play a single snap in the game, so he basically missed the entire game.
He’ll be fined $57,222 according to Adam Schefter, who posted the following message on X: “NFL is fining Eagles DT Jalen Carter $57,222 for spitting on Dak Prescott. The league also says the game he was ejected for will serve as a one-game suspension. “After talking to the Eagles, the NFL and the NFLPA, Jalen has decided not to appeal and focus on the Chiefs game,” said Carter’s agent Drew Rosenhaus.”
