Potential Patriots trade target Calvin Ridley suspended through at least 2022 season for betting on NFL games

It seems that trading for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will not be among the New England Patriots’ offseason moves. As was announced by the NFL on Monday, Ridley has been suspended indefinitely but through at least the 2022 season.

The suspension stems from Ridley betting on NFL games during the 2021 season. According to a press release, the 27-year-old bet on games over the course of a five-day period last November. However, an investigation found “no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way.
