Brendan Sorsby's chances of suing NFL diminish after draft news
Summary

Brendan Sorsby was informed two days ago that the NFL will not hold a supplemental draft next month. This decision has complicated his potential legal challenge, which his lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, suggested is forthcoming. However, as time passes without a lawsuit filed, the likelihood of action from Sorsby appears to decrease. If he does pursue legal options, it would need to be promptly initiated to have any effect on the league's decision regarding a supplemental draft. Without swift action, Sorsby may miss the opportunity to join the league this year.
