Deadline for applying for supplemental draft is today

Key Points:

• Quarterback Brendan Sorsby applied for the NFL supplemental draft, but the league has yet to confirm if he will be included or if the draft will occur, likely due to the June 22 application deadline.
• Sorsby appears eligible for the supplemental draft since he missed the April draft application and lost NCAA eligibility, though the NFL could challenge his eligibility based on prior knowledge of his status or legal maneuvers.
• It is unlikely the NFL will block Sorsby's entry into the draft now, preferring to address any disciplinary action after he is drafted, where the Commissioner has greater authority over suspensions and grievances.
• Preventing Sorsby from entering the draft could provoke legal challenges, as he is not currently part of the NFL Players Association, which complicates the league's ability to unilaterally exclude him.
• Precedents with players Kayshon Boutte and Hunter Dekkers, who engaged in similar betting behavior without NFL sanctions, suggest the league should refrain from punishing Sorsby for betting on his own team.
