The San Francisco 49ers are being docked a future draft pick after the NFL discovered inaccuracies in the team’s payroll accounting at the close of the 2022 league year, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero confirmed the Monday afternoon report shortly afterward.
A league investigation uncovered accounting errors indicating the 49ers misreported their cumulative player compensation in 2022. Although the team remained under the salary cap despite the accounting error, the NFL will require San Francisco to forfeit a fifth-round pick in ’25, and their ’24 fourth-round selection will be moved to the end of the round.
