Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper revealed to 105.3 The Fan’s “G Bag Nation” this week that teammate CeeDee Lamb has been racking up fines like he’s never seen before.
Cooper said he believed Lamb had been fined every week this season and that is no exaggeration.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Lamb was fined five times over the first six weeks of the season for a total of $46,865 — or 3.75% of his $1.247 million base salary for the 2021 season.
Perhaps most puzzling is that the majority of the fines have come from uniforms violations.
Per Schefter, Lamb was fined twice for having his jersey untucked — $5,150 for his first offence on Sept. 27 against the Eagles and $15,450 for his second offence against the Panthers on Oct. 3. A third offence would result in a $46,350 fine.

He was also fined $5,150 for his socks failing to cover his lower leg in Week 1.
Lamb’s non-uniform violations include a $10,300 fine for his wave on the walk-off winning touchdown against the Patriots, which Cooper called “ridiculous.” He was also fined $10,815 for an illegal crackback block against the Panthers.
“I’ve never seen a player so young get fined so much,” Cooper told “G Bag Nation.” “…It’s very confusing to me. I’m like, ‘Do you like money? Do you like getting paid? … I think he’ll learn sooner or later.’”
