In less than 24 hours, rookie safety Shilo Sanders got ejected from a game and then waived from the Buccaneers.
For sportsbooks like BetOnline, this translated into a nice NFL future bet win even prior to the 2025 regular season kicking off.
"Early "Enjoy Your Winnings" to those who bet Shilo -700 to NOT be on opening day 53 man roster. Public was on Yes +400," BetOnline Brand Manager Dave Mason confirmed on Sunday.
Agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN's Adam Schefter that they hope Sanders gets claimed on waivers.
NFL teams are currently in the process of trimming their rosters to 53 players by Tuesday's deadline.
The news comes after Sanders was ejected from Tampa Bay's third preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night for throwing a punch.
Sanders punched tight end Zach Davidson, who was blocking him, after some heavy pushing and shoving in the second quarter. Bucs linebacker John Bullock tried to calm Sanders afterward, and Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles looked at Sanders as he walked back to the sideline.
Bowles addressed the incident after Tampa Bay's 23-19 loss.
"You can't throw punches in this league -- that's inexcusable," Bowles said. "They're going to get you every time. You've got to grow from that."
Sanders was also flagged for a pass interference call in the first quarter on the game.
