An accounting error regarding the salary cap at the end of the 2022 season has forced the San Francisco 49ers to forfeit a 2025 draft pick and moved down the placement of a 2024 fourth-round pick.
The NFL announced the punishment on Monday that docks San Francisco a fifth-round pick in 2025 and moves this year's fourth-rounder from its original spot at No. 131 to No. 135 after compensatory picks that round. The league said the punishment came after a review found that administrative payroll accounting errors at the end of the 2022 league year resulted in the team misreporting player compensation from that season.
'At no time did we mislead or otherwise deceive the league or gain a competitive advantage in connection with the payroll mistake.'San Francisco still has three picks in the fourth round, including No. 124 from Dallas from a deal made last summer for quarterback Trey Lance. The Niners have a compensatory pick that now moves from No. 133 to No. 132, as well as their own pick now at No. 135.
