Saquon Barkley Forced to Divest Equity Stake in Prediction Company by NFL

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been forced to divest his equity stake in prediction-market platform Polymarket due to NFL rules. League policies prohibit players from investing in or endorsing gambling and prediction-market companies. Barkley stated the decision was mandated by the league rather than personal choice, confirming he is no longer involved with the platform.

While the NFL maintains strict restrictions against prediction markets, other leagues like the NBA, MLB, and NHL have established partnerships with companies like Polymarket and Kalshi. Outside of this divestment, Barkley continues to maintain investments across various sectors, including artificial intelligence startups and cryptocurrency.
