NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The NFL denied quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s application for the supplemental draft, citing a lack of information about his NCAA eligibility and gambling history.
- Sorsby’s attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, disputes this, stating the NFL never requested such information and that Sorsby provided all requested materials in a timely manner.
- According to Kessler, the NFL only required a short application with basic questions, which Sorsby completed and submitted promptly, and the league declined to request any additional details.
- The NFL reportedly informed the media of the denial before notifying Sorsby and indicated it would not hold a supplemental draft, information Sorsby learned through media reports.
- Kessler claims the NFL’s refusal violates the collective bargaining agreement and legal standards, suggesting forthcoming legal action on Sorsby’s behalf.
