That is absurd. Mahomes just signed for the most expensive contract in history. Mayfield is being paid #1 overall pick money.
There is no gambling consortium that can offer them enough money to risk a lifetime ban.
Even those playing on minimum salaries make too much to be bought.

You could maybe argue that NCAA athletes are more susceptible since they make zero. But we have not had a point shaving scandal on quiet a while.

Referees would perhaps be best target due to their relative pay and influence on a match. But again, we have not seen any scandal that we know about since the mid 2000s in the NBA.
