“The Denver Broncos will continue to provide all members of our organization with the necessary education, resources, and support to ensure compliance with the NFL’s gambling policy.”
In 2022, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for a similar offense but was later reinstated in March. Recently, the Detroit Lions released Quintez Cephus, CJ Moore, and Stanley Berryhill, who were among the five players penalized in April. Similarly, the Indianapolis Colts released Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry, who were among the three players banned for the 2023 season. It has been reported that Nicholas Petit-Frere, the right tackle for the Tennessee Titans, has been suspended for participating in sports betting activities while at the team facility.
