In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers and Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels have a $10,000 wager on which of them will win the offensive rookie of the year award. However, the NFL’s strict gambling policy prohibits private wagers between teammates, family, and friends.
The league’s 2023 policy, written broadly to prohibit all forms of wagering on NFL games, practices, or other events, will be enforced during the rookie minicamp where newcomers will receive education on the gambling policy. This raises questions about the legality of the bet between Nabers and Daniels, as it was made before they were drafted and subject to the policy.
It is unclear whether the bet will be allowed under NFL policies, and the league has been contacted for further clarification on the matter. It is expected that Nabers and/or Daniels will abandon their bet to avoid violating the policy. If one of them wins the award, the other may discreetly give a gift of $10,000 without explicitly acknowledging the wager.
The loophole in the policy, which doesn’t apply to incoming players until they are drafted, has raised concerns about potential bets being made before players are subject to the rules. As the situation unfolds, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the league will handle this controversial wager between the two promising rookies. Stay tuned for updates on this intriguing story.
