Josh Shaw, who appeared in four games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year, has been suspended indefinitely through at least the conclusion of the 2020 season for betting on NFL games multiple times this season.
The NFL found no evidence to suggest that any of Shaw’s current coaches or teammates with the Arizona Cardinals knew of his betting activity, and that no inside information was used. Shaw was put on injured reserve by the Cardinals back on Aug. 25 and hasn’t been around the team much this season.
Shaw had eight total tackles while with the Bucs, including seven solo, to go along with one fumble recovery. He was a fourth-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2015 NFL Draft.
If Shaw’s name sounds familiar, you might remember him for making headlines in 2014 when he was at USC. He suffered a high ankle sprain when he jumped from a second-story apartment to save his 7-year-old nephew in a pool, or so he said. He later admitted to lying about that story and was suspended indefinitely by the school.
Don’t bet on this guy getting back into the NFL anytime soon (no pun intended).
