The NFL has officially declined to hold a supplemental draft, affecting quarterback Brendan Sorsby's hopes to join an NFL roster this year. Sorsby, who sought special eligibility, was the only player to petition but did not adequately address concerns outlined by the NFL's Management Council. The league's decision removes him from consideration until at least the 2027 NFL Draft. Sorsby's attorney stated they plan to challenge the decision with the NFLPA, citing violations of the collective bargaining agreement.
