When news broke that Brendan Sorsby was entering his name in the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft, it felt like the end of a long and winding story of ups, downs, and drama… or was it?
Taking to ESPN’s NFL Live to talk about the next steps in Sorsby’s journey, NFL Senior Insider Adam Schefter explained that while Sorsby is showcasing his game to prospective teams at a make-shift Pro Day, technically, Roger Goodell has to accept his bid and schedule a Supplemental Draft. From there, Sorsby is expected to be drafted in either the second or third round, even if, by Schefter’s admission, he might not go to a QB-needy team that fans are expecting.
“And as you mentioned, he applied for the NFL supplemental draft last Tuesday. Now it is on the desk of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who must make the decision about whether or not there is a Supplemental Draft. Now, again, we assume there will be one, but the final word still has not come from the commissioner, and we are waiting for some sort of memo to go out to NFL teams saying, yes, in fact, there will be a Supplemental Draft,” Schefter explained.
“Here are the rules, and here is the date it will be held. Obviously, Sorsby’s already planning for that draft by scheduling that Pro Day at a Texas area high school on July 10th, so he’s anticipating that there will be a draft. And I think the real questions are, where would he go, and how high in the draft? And a lot of people believe that it could be a team that nobody’s talking about.
“Everybody knows the teams that need quarterbacks, the drafted quarterbacks in this previous draft in April. It might be a certain other team that hasn’t spent a lot of time and hasn’t been a lot of speculation about that team’s quarterback position that could go ahead and take Brendan Sorsby. And I think when you talk to people around the league, most people believe that rounds two and beyond become the spots that he would become in play, whether that’s two, three, four, somewhere in that vicinity, and we’ll see how it plays out, assuming there is a Supplemental Draft.”
Whoa, a secret Sorsby suitor? One that specifically didn’t add a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft? Well, with 10 teams picking signal callers back in April, that leaves 22 teams who could fall into Schefter’s assertion, including teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and Minnesota Vikings, who have interesting questions about the position long-term. If Goodell schedules the Supplemental Draft, which is likely, it sounds like the Sorsby drama will only continue to grow.
