- The NFL emphasized that its gambling policy strictly prohibits NFL personnel from engaging in sports gambling or sharing non-public information with third parties.
- There is no evidence the integrity of any NFL game was compromised, but the league is treating the violation very seriously.
- Gold, who has been with the Cardinals for 13 seasons and was recently promoted to director of college scouting, has the right to appeal the suspension.
