It had been suggested that representatives for controversial quarterback prospect Brendan Sorsby had abandoned any possible plan to challenge the NFL‘s decision not to hold a supplemental draft this summer.
On Tuesday, outsiders learned why Sorsby and his camp are moving on.
Brendan Sorsby, NFL agree to settlement
As Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio and others confirmed, the NFL and Sorsby reached a settlement regarding his eventual eligibility to join the league. He will not challenge the supplemental draft ruling and, thus, will be permitted to enter the 2027 springtime draft.
According to Florio, the NFL Players Association was also involved in the negotiations. As ESPN’s Adam Schefter noted, Sorsby can’t sign a contract with any club until after the 2027 NFL Draft concludes.
