Why the NFL Took a Stand on Brendan Sorsby, 2026 Supplemental Draft
- On Tuesday, the NFL announced it will not hold a 2026 Supplemental Draft, effectively blocking former college quarterback Brendan Sorsby from league entry this year due to integrity concerns tied to his gambling violations.
- The NFL denied Sorsby's petition because he 'sought to avoid the consequences' of an NCAA permanent ineligibility ruling through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for improper gambling activity, including wagering on his own team.
- Larry Ferazani of the NFL Management Council wrote the petition's issues were 'too significant' for meaningful review, while Sorsby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, called the decision 'a violation of the CBA and the law.'
- The Arizona Cardinals will enter training camp with 11th-year veteran Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew II, and rookie Carson Beck rather than pursuing Sorsby at a now-canceled pro day.
- Sorsby must wait until the 2027 NFL Draft to pursue a pro career, while the Cardinals will focus on Beck's rookie development, as his progress could determine the team's long-term quarterback strategy.
