states if a player is found guilty of participating in activities such as placing bets on NFL games or "any other form of conduct reasonably judged by the League Commissioner to be detrimental" to the NFL, the league has the right to fine a player in "a reasonable amount, to suspend for a period certain or indefinitely, and/or to terminate this contract."
The NFL can also attempt to recoup Shaw's signing bonus money. The league could do so by prorating the final four weeks of Shaw's regular season pay, a person from the league confirmed to CNBC. Last weekend, the league released a statement announcing Shaw's suspension for betting on NFL games on "multiple occasions" this season.
In a statement, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said: "the continued success of the NFL depends directly on each of us doing everything necessary to safeguard the integrity of the game and the reputations of all who participate in the league. At the core of this responsibility is the longstanding principle that betting on NFL games, or on any element of a game, puts at risk the integrity of the game, damages public confidence in the NFL, and is forbidden under all circumstances.
ESPN also reported the NFL recently distributed a memo to teams, reinforcing that any league employee caught betting on games could face discipline, including termination.Shaw, who is currently on injured reserve for his shoulder, has not played a game for the Cardinals this season. Initially drafted in 2015 by the Cincinnati Bengals, he recorded 108 total tackles and one sack in 55 career games.
Bet on it!
I'd bet on my team to lose so they'd win
BarstoolBigCat any of that bad beat money left?
I thought NFL contracts were typically in the millions of dollars, or at least one. Seems low? Maybe that’s why Shaw is betting on games?
They should...ummmm Pete Rose anyone?
I am sure Trump will pardon him.
