Summary

Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley suspended for the 2022 NFL season for sports betting. Ridley was caught betting on the Atlanta Falcons through one the NFL's gambling partners and will now serve a year's long suspension as a result. Is the suspension too harsh? The NFL Salary Cap is set at $208.2 million, over $25M from last year's drop. What it means for NFL teams moving forward, as the rise is far from over with sports betting and TV deal money on the way in coming years. Jessie Bates, Orlando Brown Jr. , and David Njoku all received the franchise tag before the NFL's deadline. Which tag candidates are still out there and how well will these moves work for the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cleveland Browns.
