NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Lawyer Jeffrey Kessler plans to challenge the NFL's decision to exclude quarterback Brendan Sorsby from the supplemental draft, citing an alleged violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
- The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has not yet decided whether to take action regarding the league's refusal to hold a supplemental draft for Sorsby.
- Although Sorsby is not currently an NFLPA member, the union may have standing to contest the NFL's failure to conduct the supplemental draft after his application.
- The NFLPA faces a conflict of interest, as supporting Sorsby could negatively impact current union members by potentially taking roster spots.
- Sorsby might ultimately need to pursue legal action against the NFL for effectively imposing a one-year suspension without violating any rules or policies.
