A league investigation uncovered no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way. Nor was there evidence suggesting any awareness by coaches, staff, teammates, or other players of his betting activity.
In a letter to Ridley notifying him of his suspension, Commissioner Goodell wrote:
"There is nothing more fundamental to the NFL's success - and to the reputation of everyone associated with our league - than upholding the integrity of the game. This is the responsibility of every player, coach, owner, game official, and anyone else employed in the league. Your actions put the integrity of the game at risk, threatened to damage public confidence in professional football, and potentially undermined the reputations of your fellow players throughout the NFL.
"For decades, gambling on NFL games has been considered among the most significant violations of league policy warranting the most substantial sanction. In your case, I acknowledge and commend you for your promptly reporting for an interview, and for admitting your actions."

This will become more and more common. These athletes love gambling.
NFL release said no inside information or confidential team information was used to make his bets. Not a huge deal imo.

You really think the NFL would tell you if games were being thrown?

Too much Bama in him

If he was away from the team, why does this matter enough for a full season suspension?

Not just because it's another out of left field Falcons moment like dogfighting or getting busted buying a hooker before the Superbowl but it tanks his trade value.

You act like pro athletes think when they do shite.
Henry Ruggs could have had a free ride, no questions asked, yet drove at 100+ MPH and killed someone drunk off his arse:

Ridley is such an amateur. If he had bet on the right app, he could have gotten a 50% boost and made it a season and a half suspension.
