An Arizona Cardinals personnel executive has been suspended indefinitely for violating the league’s gambling policy.
On Friday, it was announced that Ryan Gold, the Cardinals’ director of college scouting, had been suspended.
According to the Associated Press, the league said that after an investigation, it was determined that he had given out confidential, non-public inside information about Cardinals draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft before they were made, though they did not mention who he gave this information to.

Furthermore, the league found that Gold also made parlay bets on NFL and college games.
In a statement, the NFL reiterated its gambling policy and stated that the integrity of NFL games was not impacted by their findings.
“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 statement reads. “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 Cardinals organization also released a statement and confirmed that only one employee was implicated in the investigation.
“The NFL’s policies and expectations for all employees are clear, comprehensive, and consistently communicated. 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.”
