Shortly after the NFL announced Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers Sr will receive an indefinite suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, the Indianapolis Colts cut ties from Rodgers Sr. Rodgers Sr wasn’t the only Colts player to receive an indefinite suspension for gambling. It was reported defensive end, Rashod Berry was suspended for violating the gambling policy. He was also released from the team. Rodgers Sr was said to have placed bets in the range of $25-$50, but it was reported he placed a $1,000 prop bet for an over/under on a Colts running back rushing yard totals and won the bet.
Following the release of both players, Colts GM Chris Ballard released a statement:
“We have made the following roster moves as a consequence of the determination that these players violated the league’s gambling policy,” said Colts General Manager Chris Ballard. “The integrity of the game is of the utmost importance. As an organization we will continue to educate our players, coaches, and staff on the policies in place and the significant consequences that may occur with violations.”
Rodgers Sr release was a complete shocker. He was in line for bigger role on the Colts defense, was likely competing for the starting outside cornerback spot after the team elected to trade Stephon Gilmore for a 5th round pick during the offseason. No one knows what the future may hold for Rodgers Sr but questions are being raised on if he’ll get another chance to showcase his talents on another team or did we see the last of him? Only time will tell…
