Ridley Suspended For At Least 2022

Not with the team, but still can't bet. I know rules are rules and he needs to know better, but who cares if he's betting on games he has no influence on?

I agree, but it's most likely some kind of CBA violation...Leagues get damn skittish when the "G word" comes out. 

I guess this means the Falcons are likely taking the first receiver off the board with the 8th pick. I would guess Garrett Wilson

At least when it pertains to them not being in control of it.

Scrolled through Twitter and he bet $1,500 total. Some NFL folks are confirming he indeed did bet on the Falcons while he was away from the team. Betting $1,500 on the Falcons to win should warrant a 1 year suspension so I support the NFL's decision now

Bet he regrets that decision…  :p  the report I heard was that he bet parlays on his cell phone. So the NFL gets in bed w/ gambling & now they’re feigning outrage, unreal…  :s 
nothing like losing $11m on a $1500 parlay bet, ouch.

In my opinion the NFL brought this upon themselves. There are multiple online betting platforms they are cozied up to and they are surprised a player not actively on a team makes a couple of bets? Don’t get me wrong, players have no business doing anything with gambling, but what a crazy suspension.

I tell you what, they better drop the hammer on Stephen Ross. If they don’t, their playing with fire. Throwing games or trying to is in my opinion a far far worse violation than what Ridley did. Those 3 online bets have to be the most expensive in history. 

yep... they are a joke.
