The NFL has significant problems with their gambling policy and I’m betting it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. While sports betting at this time isn’t legal in the state of California, it doesn’t necessarily matter as players will place bets wherever it is allowed.
Earlier this offseason, five players including Lions’ 2022 first-rounder Jameson Williams were either suspended indefinitely or faced a six-game ban for gambling. Last season, former Falcons’ wideout Calvin Ridley was hit with a year-long suspension for gambling on NFL games before being reinstated.
