NFL Suspends 49ers Owner Jed York Six Games, Fines Him $500,000

The league applied its Personal Conduct Policy to an owner by counting York’s earlier absences toward the ban to enforce higher conduct standards for franchise leaders.

Overview

  • The NFL announced Friday that it suspended San Francisco 49ers principal owner Jed York for six regular-season games and fined him $500,000 for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.
  • York was arrested in East Palestine, Ohio, in late August after responding to an undercover online ad and on Aug. 24 pleaded no contest to amended misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
  • The league credited the three regular-season games York missed during its review as time served and made him eligible to resume team and league activities on or about Oct. 20.
  • York issued a statement accepting the NFL’s decision, apologizing to his family, the team and fans, and saying he takes full responsibility for his actions.
  • The 49ers have started the season 3-0 without York, and the league’s public discipline echoes past owner cases while putting pressure on the franchise to restore trust and clarify leadership visibility when he returns.
