Eagles reportedly hit with $75000 fine by NFL over Big Dom’s cellphone violation

The NFL has reportedly fined the Philadelphia Eagles $75,000 after team official Dom DiSandro, widely known as 'Big Dom', was seen using his cellphone in a prohibited area during an August 22 preseason game, according to two people familiar with the decision.

According to the Associated Press, sources familiar with the matter said Philadelphia’s appeal was denied. They spoke on condition of anonymity since the league has not publicly announced the fine. The NFL declined to comment.

DiSandro serves as senior adviser to GM Howie Roseman, chief security officer, and gameday coaching operations executive. League rules prohibit cellphones and smartwatches in locker rooms, coaches’ booths, and team bench areas. DiSandro was spotted using his phone in the bench area, the sources said.


Last season, the league fined the Eagles $100,000 and barred DiSandro from the sideline for the remainder of the year after his involvement in a Dec. 3 altercation with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw.

The latest fine was first reported by NFL insider Derrick Gunn, reported AP.
