| PRO Jameson Williams suspended for six games (violating NFL betting policy.)

Rules are rules?

"Jameson takes full responsibility for his actions and is very apologetic to the NFL, his teammates and the fans and city of Detroit," the agency that represents Williams said in a statement. "However, it is important to note that Jameson's violation was not for betting on football but rather due to a technical rule regarding the actual location in which the online bet was placed – and which would otherwise be allowed by the NFL outside of the club's facility."

WR Williams, 3 other Lions suspended for betting

Four Lions players, including Jameson Williams, have been suspended for violating the NFL's gambling policy. Williams is among two players being suspended six games, while Quintez Cephus, C.J. Moore and a Commanders DE are suspended indefinitely.

Not real smart!

Suspended 6 games for betting, not on the NFL but on their phones while at the Lions' facility. Seems a stupid rule if they could have done it at home but not on the premises.

The articles all say mobile betting so I am assuming FanDuel or similar.

Stupid or not, rules are rules. They all knew the rules, and did it anyway. They should be suspended.
