The Seahawks have come under fire for their off-season practices and now will pay a hefty price for their violation.
The team and head coach Pete Carroll have been fined more than $300,000 and will lose two double practices in 2015 for violating no-contact rules that govern NFL teams' offseason practices.
Carroll was fined $100,000 and the Seahawks organization was fined just over $200,000 for excessive contact between players during a June 18 practice. The team will be allowed one practice session during the final day of minicamp.
The 2011 collective bargaining agreement bans physical contact between players during the off-season. This is the second time the Seahawks have violated the rule. They were fined and lost two practices in 2012 for a similar violation.
