"This action resulted from a league review that
found administrative payroll accounting errors at the close of
the 2022 league year that resulted in a misreporting of the
club's cumulative player compensation. The NFL determined that
the club would have remained under the salary cap at all times
regardless of the error and there was no intent to circumvent
the cap," the league said in a statement.
The NFL moved the 49ers' fourth-round pick, No. 131, to the
bottom of the round, behind the compensatory selections to No.
135.
"We take responsibility and accept the imposed discipline from
the NFL due to a clerical payroll error. At no time did we
mislead or otherwise deceive the League or gain a competitive
advantage in connection with the payroll mistake," the 49ers
said in a statement Monday.
