It's not hypocrisy whatsoever. Insider trading is a closer comparison, which has always been illegal. If you allow players within the sport to bet on their own sport, all outcomes come into question.
It depends on the sport and the circumstances. Gambling on the NFL hurts because of the team situation. Snooker is individual and 1 specific match can make of break your career for the next 12 months. Many, many players have bet on themselves to lose early in the World Championships as an insurance against lost future earnings. I've known both players in a match bet on themselves to lose. Neither was throwing the match.

For all of those who paying college athletes was a good idea. With no cap it’s going to go up as time goes by.

I think college Sports players should get a paycheck.
but like a regular hourly job, not like a professional sports player.

If the Giants keep it up.
They just might be able to draft him.

...and has very bad taste in destinations if true. Vikings/Raiders/Giants are not exactly desirable fits for quick success. Niners aren't going to ante up for him, they like a game manager on the cheap. Cowboys maybe, but would have to give up a ton of draft capital to get there.

This is probably a BS report anyway. Still, Dallas will be too good this year to trade up that far. No chance. Dak's contract, etc.

Niners isn't going to happen. Purdy fits too well in the offense, he'll be very cheap the next couple of years, and the Niners finally get to pick in the first round again after the Trey Lance disaster.

Raiders and Vikings could make some sense as they could actually end up with a top 10 pick with the way they're playing. I get why he'd want to play there since they both have some very good receiving options on the team.

Giants can't get out from under Jones's contract, but they'd probably still take Williams if they could get him, even if they had to move up to to do it. Still, why on earth would he want to play for the Giants? Not like they've got much at receiver or the oline.
