The NFL suspended Arizona Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold indefinitely on Friday after a league investigation found he leaked confidential draft information and bet on NFL and college games, according to a person with knowledge of the decision who spoke to The Associated Press.

The league’s review determined that Gold provided non-public inside information about the Cardinals’ 2026 draft selections before the picks were announced and also participated in parlay bets on NFL and college football games. The NFL did not identify who received the information.
