NFL won't host supplemental draft, making Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby ineligible in 2026

The NFL announced it will not hold a supplemental draft in 2026, making Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby ineligible to join the league this year. Sorsby was the only player to apply for the supplemental draft, but the league determined he did not provide sufficient evidence to justify accepting his application within the required timeframe, with the application deadline having been June 22, 2026. Sorsby's lawyer has indicated he intends to challenge the decision with the NFLPA, as the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement grants the league sole discretion over whether to conduct a supplemental draft in any given year.
