NFL Fines Eagles Security Chief Dom DiSandro $75K After Preseason Texting Violation

Philadelphia Eagles chief security officer and senior advisor Dom DiSandro was fined $75,000 by the NFL for texting from the bench area during a preseason game against the New York Jets. The Eagles appealed the fine, arguing that DiSandro only had one foot in the bench area, but the appeal was denied. This fine adds to DiSandro's history of NFL discipline, including a $100,000 fine and a sideline ban in 2023 after an altercation with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw, which made him a fan favorite in Philadelphia. The hefty fine is notable given that DiSandro's salary is not publicly known but is likely less than top team players and coaches, making the penalty significant. Additionally, the Eagles faced other fines recently, including a $46,371 fine for running back Saquon Barkley for lowering his helmet during a game. Overall, DiSandro remains a key but sometimes controversial figure in the Eagles organization.
