No 2026 NFL supplemental draft, Brendan Sorsby ineligible
The NFL informed teams it will not hold a 2026 supplemental draft, denying Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's petition to enter the league this year. The league invoked its discretion under the collective bargaining agreement and closed the only immediate route for Sorsby to join NFL rosters, leaving him outside the 2026 player pool. As a result, Sorsby must await the 2027 NFL Draft to become eligible, and teams that had interest cannot sign him this season. The decision highlights the NFL's control over entry paths under the CBA and signals how the league will handle eligibility cases tied to NCAA discipline and gambling issues.
Here’s the NFL’s letter to Brendan Sorsby, informing him it is declining his petition to enter the supplemental draft, which will not be held this year.

Butmac2This seems like such an obvious conclusion that I'm surprised more pundits (yes, I know, most are idiots) who like saying "See? I told you so" weren't all over this.
Brendan Sorsby, to be frank, has acted like a complete dipshit during this gambling saga every day except the one where he said he was going to seek help Going to the attorney immediately, every single time, was so stupid. It was SOOOOOO easy for the NFL to make an example out of him, a nobody
Nick Baumgardner39he should've sat the year out, apologized and moved on ... but the lunatics who are funding Texas Tech football were like "THIS TOWN NEEDS A DUBYA" and here we are
Dougie's Stand2Its almost like the actions of a guy who has been told he's special his whole life because he can thrown a ball.
jgerardi.bsky.social2He would have been better off declaring and taking responsibility. Hell get shadow banned, stock down on his draft position, then suspended.
