Free safety Eric Weddle is facing a pretty hefty fine from his team, the San Diego Chargers, for watching his daughter and the rest of the junior cheerleaders perform during the halftime show at the game against the Miami Dolphins.
Although Weddle and his agent, David Canter, opted to stay mum about the $10,000 fine, Canter's agency DEC Management broke their silence about the occurrence on Tuesday.
"By the way the team fined @weddlesbeard last week for seeing his daughter perform at halftime but we didn't disclose it BC were classy," tweeted Canter.
Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune, first reported the news on Monday. He further noted, "The team did not have to penalize [30-year-old Weddle] for what it termed 'conduct detrimental to the team.'"
Canter also tweeted a snap of Eric Weddle with his daughter, as reported by BBC. The photo was captioned, "Nothing more important than this. Especially 0 halftime adjustments in a blowout win at home. Worth the nonsense."
As it turns out, Eric Weddle has been having some conflicts with the Chargers, the team he has been playing with for nine years now. Complex reports:
"Before the start of the 2015 campaign, Weddle chose to hold out and skip voluntary workouts in an effort after contract extension negotiations fell apart. This signaled what could have been the beginning of the end for Weddle and the Chargers organization."
It was on Monday when the Chargers opted to put Weddle as an injured reserve, although the NFL star didn't quite agree with the decision. The organization then told Weddle that he wouldn't be able to fly to the team - for their Week 17 contest against the Denver Broncos - because the aircraft was reportedly "too small."
Amid the conflicts, DEC Management tweeted another message, which basically indicates that Weddle won't likely be joining the San Diego Chargers next season.
"You can call me every name in the book. What the organization did and how we have been treated is beyond reproach," Canter wrote.
Eric Weedle net worth is $55 million.
