Summary
Tom Brady has criticized the NFL's disciplinary system after the league handed out $8.53 million in fines across 428 infractions during the 2025 season — a figure down nearly 30% from 2024. The Washington Commanders led all teams with $1.45 million in fines, largely due to Daron Payne's $1.1 million suspension fine for punching a player. Brady, now a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, voiced strong opinions on the punishment system and set clear expectations for the Raiders heading into the 2025 season.
