    Packers star player reveals he was hit with news from the NFL he didn't want to hear ahead of Texans game

    The NFL keeps fining players because of on-field action. Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander revealed on Friday that he was fined around $11k because of a play that didn't even look bad during the Arizona Cardinals game last Sunday. Take a look:

    The league has announced several fines every Saturday, and Jaire will be on this week's list ahead of the Houston Texans game .

    It's the second Packers player of the season fined by the NFL. Running back Josh Jacobs was fined $45k after lowering his head to initiate contact on a play against the Tennessee Titans in week 3.

    While it's tough to see football players losing money like that for normal plays, at least it goes to a good cause. The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support legends in need.

    You know you put you earnings in a bank, it gets interest, now these athletes are making MONEY, their fines dont even make a dent in their accounts and you say its tough to see players lose money like that, empathy for the rich ?

    I'm actually glad to hear about players getting questionable fines for hits that weren't penalties in games. To me, it means the Pack is playing more physically on both sides of the ball.Black and Blue division, baby!
