He wasn't even playing I could understand if he was playing and betting on the other team he was playing against or shaving or padding stats

I agree with this and I'll add that betting on sports is legal in most of the U.S. There might be personal rights violations coming against
the league, which could call into question the terms of their anti-trust status,. This,of course depends upon if he and his lawyers decide not to accept the suspension.

Ok let’s say you allow that , then what do you open up ? Betting on games you are playing in ? If he broke the rules on no gambling on football , won’t the next guy actually bet on games he plays in ? Could that lead to thrown games IE. 1919 black Sox scandal ?

How hard is it simply not to bet on the sport you are playing in ?
Just posing the questions

I'm not suggesting that it be allowed, just that the NFL and the nutty Supreme Court opened up a door that may be challenged in Court by individual(s) who operate in a work environments that doesn't allow it.

Got his $50m per year, selfish bastard! I hope they finish last in their division the next 4 years.
his cap number is lower now and the reported contract might not be true
