“Upholding the integrity of the league and ensuring fair competition are paramount to the CFL,” the league’s statement read. “The allegations involving Brendan Sorsby are serious and concerning. At this time, the CFL will not register a contract for him, and no team will be permitted to add him to its negotiation list.”
Between the NCAA, NFL and now CFL not accepting Sorsby, there aren’t many more options if he still wants to play in 2026. He will be eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft, which is now his only shot entering the league. However, a year away from football may make teams already concerned about his status even more worried.
When he was on the field, Sorsby made a name for himself in his final year with Cincinnati. Over 12 games, he threw for 2,800 yards, 27 touchdowns and five interceptions. He added another 580 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground, being named Second-team All-Big 12.
