This is a ridiculously light sentence for what he did.
Agree. Can stalk gf, crash car into hers, hit cop with a car, run from police and get only an 8 game suspension...

or be Calvin Ridley and bet $1,500 on a few parlays and forfeit 2021 salary and suspended entire 2022 season.

Seems one is worse than the other.......In NFL eyes, a player gambling is worse than DV and resisting arrest among others....while every other commercial is trying to get us regular folks to sign up for sports gambling. Insanity at its best.

That is the question of the day unless they don't want to overwork Evans.

Edit - However I will say he outkicked the coverage a few times in the game against the Chiefs and the first guy ALWAYS missed or overran the tackle.

It's honestly not a big deal. Bouwmeester is part of the International Program, which means that he can be kept on the practice squad with a specific slot dedicated to him that isn't a part of the regular 16-man roster.

And we probably do need an extra leg; Evans is a free agent after this year with no guarantee to re-sign him (and personally, I'm hesitant on that; he's overkicked his coverage regularly, even in this preseason, and his punting as a whole has been inconsistent), and it's normal to carry an extra leg in preseason.
