Goodell doesn't want his stank being spotlighted so he will bury him with the other QB's next year.

I’m a Tech fan and as much as I wanted to see him play, it’s too dang much with all the bets.

My question, who told on him?

Probably another person close to the NCAA or player in trouble with a bookie

 

[jrumann59]

Looks like maybe UFL bound?

The gambling sites did. They keep tabs on all that. The only way to avoid is a bookie.

Except a bookie can leave more lasting reminders....

Sad. Reminds me of a song:

 

[John813]

So, can he re-apply back to the NCAA?

 

[DAL1180]

So, can he re-apply back to the NCAA?

Or can he sign with a team as an UDFA? Pending league approval of course.(After the ACLU gets involved. Lol

It's been a while since we had a supplement draft, but I guess it makes sense the NFL can review the players trying to enter it.
While the NFL is littered with gambling sponsors/ads, I guess I can see their objection simply due to the shear amount of bets he placed and the timespan.

He's not banned from the NFL, but just has to wait till the regular draft.

"The league" decided to not have a supplemental draft - well "the league" is really just 32 billionaires. They probably got in a text group, did a show of hands on who was willing to draft Sorsby, and found enthusiasm to be lacking.

I'm not a lawyer, and I can't weigh the merits of Sorsby's potential cases against the NCAA and NFL, but I do know that the justice system moves too slowly to get him into camp by August for either league. Even if he filed an injunction or something, and was able to make it to football season, he'd pretty much be a week-to-week risk for a reversal. How much good football can you play with that hanging over your head? How much can your coaches and teammates count on you?

last supplemental draft was 2019

I have a feeling this isn't over yet........his atty may go hunting for a friendly court (lol).

The bold text seems odd to me......to say he has to be available to be drafted and then close the door that allows him to be available seems strange.

Let me first say IMO this kid should focus on his recoevery and not worry about playing football w/o the advised of a professional counseling team. But disagree with the NFL not giving him a chance top be drafted. Each team should do their own investigation and decide whether or not to draft him.....not the league.

No, Brendan Sorsby can’t go sign with an NFL team as a free agent​

A common question has come up in connection with the NFL’s decision to slam the door to the supplemental draft in Brendan Sorsby’s face.

Can’t Sorsby just sign with an NFL team as an undrafted free agent?

The short answer is he can’t.

The long answer is, no, he can’t.

No player can sign with an NFL team without first being available to be drafted. With the NFL not granting his application to be drafted, Sorsby won’t be available to be drafted until April 2027.

He could sign with a team as a free agent only after being available for a draft and going undrafted. Before that, he must enter the NFL through a draft.

The NFL would have been in a stronger position if they had stated that due to his gambling addiction, they chose not to allow him to be part of the NFL until he completed a treatment program.

I think it would have been easier just to have the supplemental draft and let each team decide if/when to draft him. That way, if he went undrafted, he would become UDFA and teams could simply refuse to sign UNTIL they are satisfied with his recovery progress. This would pretty much take his Atty out of the picture.
