Jed York Absent From NFL Owners’ Meeting

Jed York, principal owner of the San Francisco 49ers, did not attend the NFL owners' meeting in Atlanta on Wednesday. This was notable given his position, as Al Guido, the 49ers' CEO, took his place. York's absence was particularly noteworthy as he is currently under investigation for a prostitution-related case in Ohio. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that York's arrest is being reviewed under the league's personal conduct policy, with further comment to be made should there be any.

Several owners present at the meeting declined to comment on the situation. York, 46, had posted a $5,000 bond and was released after pleading no contest to charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He spent a day in jail and was fined $1,150 plus additional court fees.
