Philadelphia Eagles veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson owes the NFL a lot of money after running his mouth too much in Week 16's matchup against the Washington Commanders

Gardner-Johnson was flagged for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties before he was ultimately ejected from the game in the third quarter. 

He drew his first flag in the first half after he shared some words with Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown. Brown threw a punch but only Gardner-Johnson was penalized for stirring things up. 

It's unclear what Garnder-Johnson did that time but his mouth must have gotten him in trouble with an official or Commanders player.

He logged one interception, a tackle, and one pass defensed before he was escorted off the field by Eagles security guard Big Dom, and threw up double birds to Commanders fans. 

Now, he has to pay a total of $45,022 back to the league. 

That puts him out $101,298 in total fines this season. Five of those fines have come from unsportsmanlike penalties which cost him $90,043.
