Sources: NFL probes Colts' Isaiah Rodgers for possible betting

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL is investigating an Indianapolis Colts player for possible violations of the league's gambling policy.

The team acknowledged the inquiry Monday, saying in a statement, "We are aware of the NFL's investigation and will have no further comment at this time."

Multiple sources familiar with the investigation confirmed to ESPN that the player in question is Colts cornerback and kick returner Isaiah Rodgers. Rodgers, a sixth-round pick, is entering the final year of a four-year, $3.4 million contract.

The sportsbook account was opened under the name of an associate of Rodgers, the sources said.

Approximately 100 bets were placed on the account over an undisclosed amount of time, including on Colts games, the sources said. Most of the bets were in the $25-$50 range, although there was at least one low four-figure bet.

Calls from ESPN to Rodgers and his agent were not immediately returned, and the Colts declined to expand on
the team's original statement.

Rodgers started nine games in 2022 and was seen as a likely starter this season following the trade of Stephon Gilmore to the Dallas Cowboys. Rookie cornerback Julius Brents, a second-round pick in April, is expected to back up Rodgers.

The news comes after a report by SportsHandle.com, which cited an investigation into a Colts player's "pervasive" betting, including wagers placed on his own team. The player was not named in the report, nor did team officials reveal his identity.

An NFL spokesperson, when asked by ESPN for comment on the report, said in a text message that they had "nothing to add."

The Indiana Gaming Commission confirmed to ESPN that it had received "information pertaining to this matter" and was following developments.

"The IGC is not the lead agency on this matter, as it involves alleged violations of a league policy at this point," Jenny Reske, deputy director at the Indiana Gaming Commission, wrote in an emailed statement to ESPN. "We will, however, continue to review information as it emerges to determine what, if any, regulatory actions are necessary."

In April, the NFL suspended five players -- including four from the Detroit Lions -- for gambling policy violations. Lions receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore, as well as Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney, were suspended indefinitely for betting on NFL games. Lions receivers Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill received six-game suspensions for betting on non-NFL games from an NFL facility. Cephus, Moore and Berryhill were later released by Detroit.

Last year, then-Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for the entire 2022 season for betting on NFL games over a five-game stretch when he was away from the team. He was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the trading deadline last November and reinstated in March.

Although the NFL has widely embraced sports betting and has sponsorship deals with sportsbooks, the league explicitly prohibits players from betting on NFL games. Players are also prohibited from placing bets while at NFL facilities.

Still you are cruel. 🤣

But yeah, betting on games that he's involved with, not good. Also how are they catching these guys?

As PFT has suggested, maybe the betting sites are catching them, as it seems unlikely the NFL would be catching this, as they weren't involved. I assume he had the money to go from and to his bank account with his actual name.


That being said, all it takes is one smart guy whom trust another guy to do the entire thing and not be his bank account of gambling account... just a full on middle man, and the NFL currently probably would never catch on (at least until they bet too much or lose too much).
