Jeffrey Kessler: Exclusion of Brendan Sorsby from supplemental draft violates the CBA
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL has rejected quarterback Brendan Sorsby's application for the supplemental draft, effectively blocking his entry into the league until 2027.
- Sorsby's lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, claims the NFL's decision violates the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and the law, and plans to challenge it through the NFL Players Association (NFLPA).
- Although Sorsby is not an NFLPA member, the supplemental draft is governed by the CBA, giving the NFLPA the authority to contest the NFL's refusal to hold the draft.
- Kessler indicated potential legal action could be pursued independently of the NFLPA, but no lawsuit has been filed yet.
- The situation remains unresolved as Sorsby's representatives continue to seek relief from the NFL's decision.
