NFL Fines Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy With $150,000 Over Two Years For OTAs Being “Too Physical”

The start of a new NFL season has a ‘fine’ feeling for the Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and his training methods. McCarthy was feeling the heat for violating rules regarding offseason practices while paying dearly for his efforts. While McCarthy will be put to the sword by the league, the franchise will be immune to punishment, unlike last season.

On Thursday, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was reporting that the Cowboys’ HC will be paying a $100,000 fine while getting docked an organized team activity for 2023. They were being punished for holding practices deemed too physical by the NFL.

In 2022, they become the second team after the Chicago Bears and head coach Matt Eberflus to be charged.

The fines were being exercised because of OTAs, with live contact being barred by the collective bargaining agreement. McCarthy will have been feeling a sense of Déjà vu, as he will lose both money and OTA session again. In 2021, the Cowboys were among three NFL franchises that had to pay fines, with the franchise paying $100,000.
