Brandon Marshall's fancy footwear is getting expensive.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that the Chicago Bears wide receiver was docked $15,000 for wearing orange shoes in Monday night's romp over the Dallas Cowboys. It's the second time this year that Marshall has been been fined for going rogue with his choice of cleats.
Back in October, Marshall was clipped $10,500 by the NFL for wearing green shoes against the New York Giants, something he told reporters he did to attract attention to Mental Health Awareness Week.
"Football is my platform not my purpose," Marshall tweeted at the time. "This fine is nothing compared to the conversation started & awareness raised."
The rest of this week's fines, per Rapoport:
» Who didn't see this one coming? Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Cody Wallace was docked $7,875 for his outrageous groin punch of defensive lineman Randy Starks in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Wallace was fined another $10,000 for a separate unnecessary roughness call later in the game.
