Falcons WR Calvin Ridley is no longer an option for the Patriots this offseason as they continue their search for a true #1 Wide Receiver. On Monday, the NFL suspended Ridley for at least 2022 season for betting on games.
Ridley responded to the suspension in a series of tweets. Calvin tweeted "I don't have a gambling problem," and that he will "be more healthy when I come back" and that "I know I was wrong But I'm getting 1 year lol."
In a letter to Ridley NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote: 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."
Evan Lazar and Alex Barth react to the news on the latest episode of Patriots Beat.
