Brendan Sorsby fights NFL’s exclusion from supplemental draft

Brendan Sorsby’s application for the NFL supplemental draft has been rejected, prompting his lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, to announce plans for a legal challenge. Kessler claims the NFL's decision violates the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and signals intent to pursue the matter with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). Though Sorsby is not a union member, the NFLPA has the ability to challenge decisions regarding the draft. The situation may lead to court action, though no lawsuit has been filed yet. Sorsby will remain ineligible for the NFL until 2027 unless the decision is overturned.
