Calvin Ridley suspended for betting on NFL games

[Risen Star]

I wonder if that’s why he left the team last season.

It would make sense. Someone reported him and he was dismissed from the team while they investigated. After investigation, he was suspended.

According to the team, no.

What a weird turn of events for this guy after a solid first 3 years in the league.

Such a shame.

 

[Risen Star]

All jokes aside, this is really bad for the league. I'm surprised it's not a suspended indefinitely situation instead of a one year suspension.

They'll probably end up denying his reinstatement next year.

League needs this to go away, quick.

Should drive up the price we get back for Cooper......nah, we've already said he's going to be released.

Dak needs to be investigated next.

I just wish the Eagles would've traded for him before this news broke.

What do you expect when the league now openly promotes gambling? It will only fuel speculation that some games and outcomes are predetermined IMO.

 

[jazzcat22]

Where are all the fans that wanted to draft him?

 

[jazzcat22]

So Falcons need a vet WR…trade them Cooper?

These league is moronic…..so they promote alcohol and gambling but get upset when their players do it.

 

[jazzcat22]

The NFL needs to look into any refs gambling on games. Especially ones they work.

..he bet on McCarthy and Dak to kick *** in post season. Then Lady Luck said, "Dont ever bet against me". .....

 

[Majic]

The most over the top punishment I have ever seen in the NFL. Ridiculous.

 

[John813]

I assume he can appeal but I doubt he has much of a chance at any reduction.

 

[RoboQB]

So much for Ridley stepping away due to "mental health reasons".
Gambled and lost his $11 million guaranteed money.
Why gamble when you're guaranteed $11 million!?!..smh

 

[The Quest for Six]

So, this means Dallas should for him....right!!!!

 

[bewp7]

He give up all his salary this season for a 1500 parlay

he will appeal and he will lose

it is said very very clear no one in the league can gamble on nfl game

what a dumb thing to do

Jerry Jones and the whole family needs to be investigated PLEASE MAN!!!
