This is what happens when a player doesn’t always use the official gambling site of the NFL “FanDuel”.

Toney's career pretty much over after that. Can't be a fringe roster guy and survive. Sucks but really stupid decision. Cephus might be the only one suspended for a year that plays again.

NFL suspends 5 players, including Lions 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams, for gambling violations

Three players received indefinite suspensions from the NFL and can apply for reinstatement after the 2023 NFL season.

That is not smart.

I think it’s ridiculous taking a man’s livelihood away from him Something less severe would be smarter.

They all know the penalty...think the year suspension is fair if he was actually betting on NFL games (ie Calvin Ridley).

Follow the rules--we all have to do that at our jobs to keep them, right?

Yep. Pretty straight forward. Just a dumb, dumb move on all of their parts.

Why? The rule is simple. No gambling in the practice facility or NFL venue and no betting on NFL games. If he dumb enough to do either he deserves it. He was betting on NFL games it would be no different then me getting fired for insider trading.

I agree re betting on football and following the rules. 3 Dummies for sure. But given the sponsorships, tv ads and general acceptance of online betting how does the NFL ban a legal "right" in their "holy" facilities while taking money from those same companies?

Not at all defending these guys, the football bettors are toast, but when the League allows guys like the Bengals RB to play after what was a very serious crime, has an up and down record on peds, recreational drugs and other crimes, but suspends players for gambling on other sports in their facilities, maybe on one of their sponsored sites, how does that make sense?

Rules are rules, but this is illogical. NFL has the cake and eats it too. The two other sport players have a cupcake and get spanked. Hypocritical by NFL.

Just looking for clarification because I've not read everything about it.

Were these player suspended for gambling on NFL games or for gambling on other sports leagues?

In the cases of Cephus, Moore and Toney, the league explicitly said those players bet on NFL games during the 2022 season. Those suspended for 6 games were betting in the facilities.
