Steelers Now
Kalshi’s prediction markets has the Pittsburgh Steelers as the favorites to land controversial quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the NFL Supplemental Draft in July.
Pittsburgh and the New York Jets are the only teams hitting the 20% threshold in Kalshi’s NFL market. Both teams are in desperate need of a long-time answer at quarterback. The Steelers are riding with 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers in 2026, while veteran journeyman Geno Smith will be under center for Gang Green.
Sorsby has certainly been a controversial topic as of late. After announcing his plan to return to college football in 2026, his gambling issues surfaced and he was stripped of his NCAA eligibility.
Since then, there’s been an ongoing legal battle, but he recently surrendered his hand and announced he is applying to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft.
It would be hard to believe there are zero teams interested in Sorsby, especially because he was regarded as a first-round talent last season while throwing for 2,800 yards, 27 touchdowns and just five interceptions, leading the Big 12 with a 13.5 yards-per-completion average.
NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay thinks the Steelers would be an ideal landing spot for Sorsby.
“Can’t you see the Steelers?” McShay said on The McShay Show. “Because the Steelers have been mired in this, we’re good enough every year. We’re right on the fringe. We’re either in the playoffs, getting knocked out early or we just miss the playoffs. So we’re always picking around 21 or 23 or 25, so we can’t get that guy. … This is a unique opportunity for the Steelers. I’m just throwing it out there.”
