Is this a joke? Wasn't involved with the NFL at the time. Was on a leave of absence.

Ray Lewis killed a man and didn't miss a game. Ray Rice murdered his wife and dragged her body through a hotel and got 2 games. This dude bets on some football while on sabbatical and possibly loses his career? Lol NFL is a joke

If y’all think the punishment is too harsh, then Pete Rose should definitely be in the hall of fame.

Agreed, sorta. Pete Rose was betting on his team when he was the manager lol. I feel like that's even worse.

Though to be fair, i believe he claimed that he only bet on them to win, and didn't bet against them. I think he should be in the HOF though.

Maybe they're harsher with him because of how he left the sport too. Good opportunity to make an example of him with a moral high ground.

You're a team's best player? You can't just walk away sucka

- he bet $1,500 over 3 parlays
- he wasn’t playing at the time
- one parlay had the falcons WINNING

I don’t see the problem or the big deal. I know it’s against policy and rules. So it is what it is. But people making a big deal about nothing.


He picked the Falcons to win vs the Jags LOL. Dude knew an easy lock when he seen it.

Should have picked a different hobby like beating women. Then he'd be back by week 5 at the latest.

A team literally threw a world series over gambling. This was a good move by the NFL.

So from my understanding his $11M salary won't go against the cap for the Falcons this season (i believe putting them under the cap now) and now he will be under contract through 2023 (when he was supposed to be a free agent). This means they're basically skipped this season which was supposed to be the last season of his rookie deal, and instead it will transfer over to 2023 giving the Falcons the opportunity to still trade him for something if they wanted (assuming he returns next season).

I mean he still has plenty of opportunity to get back on track, he's only 27, but man he could have really fucked up some major potential earnings that he would have seen as a FA coming up if he was playing.
