- NFL told Brendan Sorsby he must file for the supplemental draft by June 22, according to CBS Sports.
- NCAA is investigating Sorsby’s gambling activity, a probe that risks permanent loss of eligibility.
- Jeffrey Kessler, Sorsby’s labor attorney, filed an injunction seeking a June 15 NCAA decision and is ready to sue if a settlement isn’t reached.
- NFL teams would have to surrender a 2027 draft pick to select Sorsby in the supplemental draft, a move not used since 2019.
- NFL league source called the situation “the third rail,” reflecting league concerns about adding a player under a gambling investigation.
Why it matters: Sorsby faces a June 22 deadline to enter the NFL supplemental draft; the NCAA is investigating his gambling activity, with a pending eligibility ruling. A team that drafts him would give up a 2027 pick, affecting a banner draft class.
