Report: Middle finger gesture costs Seahawks' Earl Thomas $13K

A leg has cost safety Earl Thomas the rest of his season, a finger has cost the Seattle Seahawk over $13,000.

The veteran defensive back has been fined $13,369 by the NFL for giving the middle finger as he was carted off the field in last Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, according to a Seattle Times report.

Thomas, who held out all offseason in protest of his contract situation and returned without a new deal, was carted off the field with his leg in an air cast midway through the third quarter.
