San Diego Chargers linebacker Antwan Barnes was fined $25,000 after being ejected for making contact with a game official in Sunday's regular season finale against the Oakland Raiders, Howard Fendrich of The Associated Press reports. Barnes had a breakout season for the Chargers, posting 11 quarterback sacks entering the final game of the season. The $25,000 fine represents a good portion of Barnes' weekly game checks, which are worth $58,824 as part of the $1 million base salary he's making on his two-year, $3.2 million contract.
