Seahawks safety Earl Thomas has been fined $13,369 by the NFL for flipping off the Seahawks sideline as he was being carted off during the Cardinals game last Sunday, reports The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta.

According to the Times, he was fined for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Thomas was taken off the field during the fourth quarter of Seattle's 20–17 win over Arizona. As he was being carted off, Thomas flipped off the Seattle sideline. On Tuesday, he was placed on injured reserve.

The 29-year-old held out this offseason in hopes of getting an extension on his contract.
