NFL fines quarterback Caleb Williams $23,882 for unauthorized shoe logo in Week 7
The league imposed a $23,882 penalty on quarterback Caleb Williams for wearing shoes with an unapproved logo, doubling the fine from the previous week.
The National Football League fined quarterback Caleb Williams $23,882 for wearing shoes with an unauthorized logo during the Week 7 game against the New England Patriots. The penalty is twice the amount of the $11,941 fine issued for a similar violation in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Williams said he intends to keep wearing the Caddix shoes, which are not part of an NFL-approved partnership, and may appeal the latest fine. > "I’m huge into trying to stay on the field," Williams said, adding that the cleats are designed to reduce stress on tendons and joints and help him stay healthy.
The appeal of the Week 6 fine remains pending, and the league has indicated that further fines could be imposed if the player does not comply with equipment regulations.
