What is the monetary fine for NFL players who throw a football into the stands?

Question

At times NFL players, after scoring a touchdown, will throw the football into the stands to spectators. I believe fines are levied for doing this, does anyone know the amount of that fine? Thanks for your responses!

Answer 1

from an article at nfl.com

Burress fired the football into the stands, an act that carries an automatic $2,500 fine from the NFL. Burress should be on the lookout for a letter from the NFL this week. And he won't mind one bit for spending on what might be the biggest catch of his NFL career.

Answer 2

If you throw a ball into the stands at any point, its a $1500 fine, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to people making $50,000 a game. Reggie Bush and Vince Young have both been fined this year, they said so on ESPN. But the fine is so small, and the occurences are so many, its not publicized.

Answer 3

The fine (assumed correct by the first poster) would be worth it to the player for the good relations he would build with the fans.

Would definately get it back in longer term value, like a coach/manager who gets fined for arguing with the refs.

Answer 4

I didn't know there WAS a fine, other than paying for the cost of the football.
Why would the NFL fine any player giving a memento to their fans? - doesn't make any sense.
