One would think NFL teams wouldn’t want to touch quarterback Brendan Sorsby with a 10-foot pole, but somehow, he’s on the league’s radar.
Sorsby agreed to part ways with the Texas Tech Raiders on Monday and plans to enter the NFL supplemental draft before the deadline on June 22. This comes after the Big 12 threatened legal action against Texas Tech for helping the QB restore his eligibility after an NCAA investigation found him guilty of sports gambling.
The league must approve Sorsby’s paperwork to hold a supplemental draft, which it hasn’t done since 2023. If it does, the league will hold a lottery (similar to the NBA) to determine the order. Teams would then bid on the QB, using rounds, based on the seven rounds in the NFL Draft, as offers. The highest bid wins, and the determined order breaks ties.
Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken made it clear he doesn’t want to add Sorsby, saying the team doesn’t “want to go down that road.” Other teams, however, may be willing to.
