Miami Dolphins star wideout Tyreek Hill has reportedly racked up a significant amount of fines this season due to multiple uniform policy violations, and he can expect another fine in the mail this week. However, this fine doesn't have to do with uniform violations, but instead, a touchdown celebration. However, Hill says he's not worried about losing money. Of course, it's easy to say that when playing on a four-year, $120 million contract.
"I know the NFL's gonna fine me for it but it's worth it," Tyreek Hill said, via CBS Sports Lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. "I'm having so much fun. My life isn't about money. I play this game for passion."
After a 41-yard touchdown reception against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Hill pulled a bit of a Joe Horn. He found a media member's phone, and recorded himself doing a backflip to celebrate.

Hill entered this week as the NFL's leader in receiving yards (651) and receiving touchdowns (5), and he's in the process of recording yet another monster performance. Using a cellphone as a prop in a celebration will likely draw the ire of the league office, but who knows? Maybe Hill is trying to set an NFL record with all these fines. He can certainly afford them as the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver.
