Broncos coach Sean Payton did not hold back on his thoughts about the NFL’s gambling policy that has led to a series of players suspended for violating the league’s mandate, including his own defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.
Payton told USA Today Sports on Tuesday that as more players have been suspended recently, the league must look at its own communication of the gambling protocol.
“When you have a bunch of players getting D’s, you have to start looking at the message,” Payton told Jarrett Bell of USA Today Sports. “And we’ve had a lot of D’s in our league this year with this policy. And we’re going to send them home for a year, where they can’t be around. The idea that you just go away, shame on us.”
