The CFL won't allow any of its teams to sign Brendan Sorsby
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL has barred quarterback Brendan Sorsby from joining any of its teams in 2026, and the CFL has taken a similar stance by refusing to register a contract for him or allow teams to add him to their negotiation lists.
- The CFL emphasized the importance of league integrity and fair competition, citing serious and concerning allegations involving Sorsby as the reason for their decision.
- Sorsby appears unlikely to play in the CFL, which has already started its 2026 season, leaving him primarily with two options: legally challenge the NFL's supplemental draft decision or wait until April 2027 to be eligible for the NFL draft.
- The absence of any legal action since the NFL's announcement suggests that Sorsby may not pursue a lawsuit against the league's decision.
