Patriots’ star Jonathan Jones hit back at the NFL following the league’s recent gambling suspension. 

“I understand rules are rules, But I can risk my life so that my team wins but I can’t risk 1k on my team winning,” Jones wrote in a tweet on Thursday.  

The two-time Super Bowl champion’s call-out comes in the wake of the NFL indefinitely suspending free agent Demetrius Taylor and the Colts’ Isaiah Rodgers and Rashon Berry on Thursday. 

All three players placed bets on NFL games during the 2022 season. 

Nicholas Petit-Frere, offensive tackle for the Titans, was also suspended, but for six games, after betting on non-NFL games from the team facility. 

Rodgers allegedly placed a $1,000 prop bet on the over/under of a Colts running back for yards rushed, and won. 

The cornerback, who was cut by Indianapolis shortly after his suspension was announced, also allegedly funneled hundreds of bets through an account without his name, trying to cut around the league’s rules, Sports Illustrated reported. 

Earlier this month, the NFL announced it is reinforcing its gambling rules and making it a requirement for rookies to attend education sessions of the league’s gambling policies. 

“So, sports gambling has a great deal more presence in people’s lives than it did just a few short years ago, which means for us as [a] sports league — where integrity of the game is the highest single principle — that we have to be thoughtful and careful and scrutinize how we share information and educate people around the rules that govern it,” Jeff Miller, the NFL executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy said, according to ESPN.  

NFL officials will be visiting teams to emphasize and clarify the rules. 

Players are given these guidelines to follow: Don’t bet on the NFL, don’t gamble at your team facility or while traveling with the team, don’t have someone bet for you, don’t share “inside information,” don’t enter a sportsbook during the playing season and don’t participate in daily fantasy football.
