The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to adjust the existing gambling policy as it relates to players, which will immediately reinstate a couple of suspended players.<\/p>\n

The league is reinstating Lions receiver \ufeffJameson Williams\ufeff and Titans offensive lineman \ufeffNicholas Petit-Frere\ufeff, effective Monday, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported. Williams and Petit-Frere still had two weeks left on their existing suspensions prior to Friday’s policy changes.<\/p>\n

The adjustments include heightened penalties for players who bet on NFL games — including the possibility of a lifetime ban — and a reduction of penalties for players who place bets on other sports while in the workplace or while working.<\/p>\n

“The NFL and NFL Players Association share a longstanding and unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of the game,” the league and players’ union said in a joint statement Friday. “The NFL periodically reviews the gambling policy in consultation with the NFLPA and clubs to ensure it is responsive to changing circumstances and fully addresses this commitment.”<\/p>\n

Betting on NFL games will draw an indefinite suspension at a minimum of one year, or two years if a player bets on a contest involving his team. Actual or attempted game fixing will result in a permanent ban from the NFL, while providing inside information and tipping will elicit an indefinite suspension (minimum of one year), as will third-party or proxy betting.<\/p>\n

The most significant change outside of the NFL arena reduces penalties for betting on other sports while in the workplace, calling for two-game suspensions without pay for first-time offenders, six-game bans (also without pay) for second-time offenders, and suspension without pay for at least one year for a third violation. Williams and Petit-Frere were previously suspended six games for betting on non-NFL sports at a team facility. Under the amended policy, they would’ve been banned two games.<\/p>\n

The NFL Commissioner will consider specific patterns of behavior and history of wagers, as well as the player in question’s access to confidential information or an ability to affect a game in any way, among other factors, per a memo obtained by NFL Network’s Judy Battista. Self-reporting violations, acceptance of responsibility and cooperation with league investigations can serve as mitigating factors when determining penalties.<\/p>\n

The NFL has banned a handful of players since enacting its gambling policy, including a few rounds of suspensions prior to the start of the 2023 season. Williams and Petit-Frere are the only suspended players directly affected by this change in policy.<\/p>\n
