No 2026 supplemental draft; Brendan Sorsby's NFL path paused
The NFL has decided not to hold a supplemental draft this year, effectively halting Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's path to the league this season.
The saga continues.... I don't wish ill-will on the guy going forward in life. He made some very bad decisions, but he should ultimately be able to see the error of his ways and move on with the rest of his life. I don't know if he will ever get a shot in the NFL, but I really don't feel bad for him if he doesn't. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here with football.
There is always the UFL. If he goes in and proves himself, they may give him a shot. Who knows though. I don't think I could trust him if I were a teammate/coach/owner though.No 2026 supplemental draft; Brendan Sorsby's NFL path paused

So; is Sorsby working as Cody Campbell's pool boy this summer??
You do know someone picked Trubisky in the top three? These folks are fools.
The NFL dope-slapped both Sorsby and his attorneys.

Read the excerpts from the NFL’s General Counsel’s letter to Sorsby. Ouch!
Then after reading the letter, Sorsby’s attorneys predictably asserted that they would sue, saying that the NFL violated its own CBA.
Problems there are (1) Sorsby isn’t a member of the NFLPA and therefore has no standing in the CBA, and (2) one of the NFL’s reasons for telling Sorsby and his team to pound sand was their denial of accountability…..an assertion on which the Sorsby brain trust doubled down by threatening further litigation.
A smarter group would have said, “While we do not agree with the NFL’s conclusions, we respect them and thank the NFL for their consideration. We invite whatever representatives they choose to follow and monitor Brandon’s progress in defeating his addiction. We will open his physical and mental health records to them, and welcome those representatives to inspect either or both on whatever cadence they choose, whether announced or unannounced.”
Meanwhile he works with a respected QB tutor every one of the next 365 days, and posts every single workout on TikTok every day for the next 365. No exceptions.
But no. They’d rather spit in the NFL’s face and say, “Seeya in court, jerks!”
You can’t make up that level of idiocy.
As that great philosopher Bugs Bunny would say, “Whata buncha maroons.”
When Sorsby can no longer pay his attorneys, what’s the Over / Under on how long they remain his attorneys?
Wonder which side of that Over / Under Sorsby himself would bet?
Wetzel: NFL's denial of Brendan Sorsby sends the right message
The NFL sent a powerful reminder to Sorsby and others: Sports wagering can bring significant repercussions.

So Sorsby and his attorney wanted the NFL to have a supplemental draft that they really didn't intend to have just for him?
He was the only one who applied. The NFL just said you were not worth the effort and they sent the message to the teams he is damaged goods IMO. Maybe next April in the 2027 draft he might be accepted.
The last supplemental draft was 2023. No players were selected.
Good point. Even if they had the SD, there is no guarantee he would have been picked up by a team. In the SD, a team forfeits a next year draft pick to acquire a player this year. The team who is willing to forfeit highest round pick wins. Let's say two teams are willing to forfeit a 4th round pick, a tiebreaker based on last year's record is used.

(This kid evidently has a very high opinion of himself.)There is NO doubt in my mind that he would not have been picked up by anyone and he would have been further embarrassed.
I keep waiting for Texas Tech to announce a new starting QB Sendan Brorsby.
I wonder if the “I’m an addict” angle is gonna hurt his nfl chances. I wonder if he had just gone into the draft this year and obfuscated the whole gambling ordeal (it was a friend, never happened, lies, manufactured by big 12 enemies etc) would he have been better off. Someone would have thrown a 6th or 7th round pick his way.
Cant he just get signed to a practice team and work his way into a lineup? I mean he’s basically a more stupid Stetson Bennett.

There is an element of this that's also just the general stupidity of Cody Campbell and no wonder he and Sorsby ended up in the same orbit.
So to recap, on Sorsby's end, his massive gambling habit was found out and rather than show true remorse he goes to court to try to stay eligible despite obvious problems that need more attention than a short stint in rehab. When that goes sideways, he thrusts himself towards the NFL draft as though A: He's cured now and B: They actually want to deal with his mess.
The Campbell side is actually more stupid and I wonder how much of Sorsby's antics initially at least he was put up to by Campbell who desperately wanted him as a starting QB for Tech (basically the only guy in the country that wanted him as their QB at that point in time).
What Campbell is doing is stupider on an even grander scale. He angered his own conference and encouraged litigation against them (which backfired), he made many Tech fans unhappy as well, and he's pushing through a bill that if enacted could set off a chain reaction that would basically force the SEC and Big 10 out of the FBS, where Tech gets left behind.
To elaborate on that, from what I understand there is a provision in it which says 75% of the FBS schools can vote to pool the media deals. This means that the SEC and Big 10 could get dragged into sharing their TV revenue with the Sun Belt teams and so on.
The only issue is that requires the SEC and Big 10 to stay in the FBS, which the legislation does not force them to do... I guess these people just don't think very many steps ahead.

He could always wear a mask like Bob Armstrong did back in the Birmingham wrestling days when he lost a loser leave town match.
I thought the bill did exactly that. I read articles the past few days that said the SEC/B1G would have to make their move before the bill becomes law, if it passes.
