The NFL has suspended San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York for six games and fined him $500,000.
While the league’s investigation was ongoing, York stayed away from the 49ers’ first three regular-season games and did not attend NFL league meetings.
The disgraced Niners owner released a statement regarding his punishment:
“Today, the NFL concluded its review, and I accept its decision in full. To my family, to the players, coaches, and employees of the San Francisco 49ers, to our fans and partners, I am deeply sorry. This was an inexcusable mistake and I take full responsibility. What I did does not reflect my values or the man I strive to be for my family. While I fell short of the model I want to set for my sons, I now hope to show them the importance of owning up to one’s failures, and that even our worst moments teach us to be better. Leading the 49ers is a privilege, and one I don’t take lightly. Your trust will have to be earned back over time, and I look forward to that work ahead.”
Those three missed games count toward his suspension, meaning York is eligible to return on Tuesday, October 20.
💰 Fine: $500,000
🏈 Suspension: 6 games
✅ Games already served: 3

The NFL’s investigation and punishment now officially put a timeline on York’s return to the organization.
