Philadelphia Eagles chief security officer and senior advisor Dom DiSandro has become a cult hero among Philly fans, but controversy is following him once again.
Two years after he got into a sideline spat with Dre Greenlaw, DiSandro is facing punishment from the NFL for a separate violation.
The NFL fined DiSandro $75,000 after Week 3 for a rules violation that dates back to the preseason. After an Eagles appeal was denied, DiSandro had to cough up a hefty penalty for a non-player.

The news was confirmed by NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, who added that Philadelphia argued "Big Dom" only had one foot in the bench area, but that was enough for the league to uphold the fine.
The #Eagles’ appeal, I’m told, was he had only one foot in the bench area. Apparently five toes was enough. Fine levied. https://t.co/x7Y5WnW61n

DiSandro was previously fined $100,000 for getting into an altercation with then-49ers LB Dre Greenlaw during a game in 2023. The NFL also banned DiSandro from the sideline for one game as a result of the incident.

Dom DiSandro salary
The Eagles have never let any details about DiSandro's salary leak.
While it can be assumed he is paid well — he holds three titles, including director of gameday coaching operations — he certainly doesn't earn a salary that matches Nick Sirianni or many of the players on Philadelphia's roster. That would make $75,000 a hefty fine, even if the Eagles take good care of "Big Dom."
