"A source says Pickens has been fined at or above $200,000 this year by the NFL and the Steelers combined, a larger-than-average figure for any player regardless of contract status. The NFL has fined Pickens a total of $33,441 in publicly available fines for unnecessary roughness and unnecessary conduct. Team fines and other league fines are not usually public knowledge."
It's unclear the split between team and league fines. This year, the NFL has released a weekly list of player fines but those only apply to on-field actions, of which makes up over $33,000 of Pickens' reported figure. Off-field infractions aren't listed by the league. For example, WR Diontae Johnson was reportedly fined $25,000 for harsh commentary of the officials following the Steelers' Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That number wasn't publicly disclosed but reported by Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
