The NFL has indefinitely suspended Arizona Cardinals executive Ryan Gold for violating the league’s gambling policy.In a statement released Friday, the league stated that an investigation concluded that Gold provided confidential information about the Cardinals’ 2026 NFL Draft picks before they were announced. The league also claimed that Gold participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games.“The gambling policy, which is annually reviewed with all NFL personnel, strictly prohibits anyone in the NFL from participating in or facilitating any form of sports gambling, and from providing third parties non-public information,” the NFL said in a statement. “… Although there is no reason to believe the integrity of any NFL game was affected, the league takes any violation of the gambling policy with the utmost seriousness.”Gold, who is in his 13th season with the Cardinals organization and second as director of college scouting, has the right to appeal the suspension.The Cardinals were fully cooperative in the investigation, according to a league source who was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue, and acknowledged Gold’s suspension in a statement shared with The Athletic.“The NFL’s policies and expectations for all employees are clear, comprehensive, and consistently communicated,” the Cardinals’ statement read. “We fully support the league’s decision in this matter, which involves a single employee. Our focus remains on preparing for the start of training camp next week and the 2026 season.”
