Calvin Ridley Calls Gambling On NFL 'Stupid Mistake'

Mar 8, 2023 3:32 PM

Calvin Ridley said he gambled on football during a period when he was depressed and angry and called it "stupid" and the "'worst mistake of his life."

Ridley was reinstated by the NFL this week.

Ridley downloaded a gambling app, deposited $1,500, and bet on NBA and NFL games, including the Falcons.

"I just f---ed up. Period." Ridley wrote. "In a dark moment, I made a stupid mistake. I wasn't trying to cheat the game. That's the thing I want to make clear. At the time, I had been away from the team for about a month. I was still just so depressed and angry, and the days were so long. I was just looking for anything to take my mind off of things and make the day go faster."

NFL Reinstates Calvin Ridley From Gambling Suspension

Mar 7, 2023 8:25 AM

The NFL has fully reinstated Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley from his suspension for violating the league's gambling policy.

Ridley is now eligible to participate in all team activities immediately. He had applied for reinstatement from his indefinite suspension for gambling on NFL games on Feb. 15.

The receiver was suspended for at least the 2022 season on March 7 last year after an investigation found that he bet on NFL games over a five-day stretch in November 2021 while he was away from the Atlanta Falcons. 

The Jaguars traded for Ridley on Nov. 1 -- sending the Falcons a 2023 fifth-round pick and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2024 that could rise as high as a second-round pick if the Jaguars sign Ridley to an extension.
