"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 league said in a statement. "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 team's fourth-round pick will be moved to the end of the round, after the fourth-round compensatory selections.
"We take responsibility and accept the imposed discipline from the NFL due to a clerical payroll error," the 49ers responded via a statement. "At no time did we mislead or otherwise deceive the league or gain a competitive advantage in connection with the payroll mistake."
