The NFL will not conduct a supplemental draft this cycle, according to multiple reports, eliminating the option for quarterback Brendan Sorsby to enter the league through that process. The Athletic, Yahoo Sports, and the New York Post all report that the NFL has decided against holding a supplemental draft this year, leaving Sorsby without a pathway he had been seeking.
The Athletic notes that no player has been selected in the supplemental draft since 2019, suggesting the mechanism is rarely used. Yahoo Sports similarly frames the decision as leaving Sorsby in “football limbo,” with no supplemental-draft opportunity available. The New York Post adds that the outcome is a setback after speculation involving the New York Jets, though it attributes the core issue to the NFL’s decision rather than a team-specific move.
With the NFL not scheduling a supplemental draft, Sorsby’s next steps are not determined by this decision alone, but all sources agree the immediate door he pursued—entry via the supplemental draft—is closed for the current year.
