On the statement, the league also explained the reasons that led to the suspension:
“The League’s investigation determined that Gold provided confidential, non-public inside information regarding 2026 Draft selections by the Cardinals before they were announced, and that Mr. Gold participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games. 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
The NFL also shared that they don’t have any reason to believe the integrity of any game had been violated. The statement also said that Gold would have the opportunity to appeal the league’s decision to suspend him
