The NFL has ruled that quarterback Brendan Sorsby is not eligible for the supplemental draft. This decision is seen as conflicting with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which outlines eligibility based on specific criteria. Sorsby became eligible following the April 2026 draft but did not apply for special eligibility prior. The league's reasoning does not appear to align with the terms set forth in the CBA, leading to speculation that Sorsby's legal team may challenge the decision. Questions arise regarding the NFL’s precedent in similar situations, particularly regarding previous cases involving Terrelle Pryor and others.
