What Happened
The National Football League (NFL) has determined that it will not conduct a supplemental draft in 2026, a decision that impacts quarterback Brendan Sorsby's eligibility to enter the league. This ruling means Sorsby's entry into the NFL will be delayed beyond the typical draft cycle.
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) is reportedly in an awkward position due to this development, as Sorsby is not currently a member of the union. The league's decision regarding Sorsby's supplemental draft eligibility has been a subject of discussion among media outlets.
Speculation has also arisen regarding potential NFL team interest in Sorsby, with one report suggesting that Geno Smith's domestic abuse allegations might create an opportunity for the Jets to consider drafting him. Other reports have also mentioned Sorsby in the context of rumors surrounding Shedeur Sanders and the status of Deshaun Watson.
