This week it was revealed that Giants receiver Malik Nabers and Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels have a $10,000 wager on either of them winning the offensive rookie of the year award. According to John Keim of ESPN.com, the NFL’s gambling policy for 2022 prohibits private wagers among teammates, family, friends, or others, while the 2023 policy is more broad, banning all forms of wagering on NFL games, practices, or events.
Keim mentions that education on the gambling policy will be provided to rookies during their minicamp, which began with orientation sessions. Ideally, this education should start earlier, such as during the Scouting Combine. However, incoming players are not subject to the policy until they are officially drafted, raising questions about the legality of bets made before a player is drafted.
The NFL has been asked for clarification on these scenarios. It is possible that Nabers and Daniels will announce the abandonment of their bet, and if one of them wins the award, the other may give a coincidental gift of $10,000. These situations highlight the complexities and potential loopholes in the NFL’s gambling policies.
