Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

Where are you reading feedback on whether teams would give up a draft pick has anything to do with this decision? The NFL said nothing of that in their rejection letter

Other articles I have read over the past couple weeks indicated Sorsby probably wasn't going to get drafted in the Supplemental because of his gambling baggage and teams not wanting to give up a pick in 2027 regular draft.

The NFL being able to have or not have a Supplemental Draft seems exclusive of an entity that answers to no one. Sorsby applies, so I feel the NFL should be required to have a draft.

Heck, it not like NFL has to go through a huge process or expense. Just have the 30 teams submit what round they would be willing to draft Sorsby. The team indicating the highest round with highest draft spot in 2026 draft gets Sorsby and gives up corresponding round draft pick in 2027 draft. If none of 30 teams want Sorsby then he becomes a FA.

Those articles are media pieces, not from the NFL. I guarantee you that there are more costs that go into a supplemental draft than you’re considering.

And the notion that they should have to hold a draft if anyone applies is absurd. If that was the case, maybe I’ll apply next year and see if I get drafted.

But he did apply for the Supplemental Draft. So he went through the process, but feedback from teams was they weren't willing to give up a pick in the regular draft.

I feel like Sorsby has an argument.
Ok. Tell me his argument.

Read the NFL bylaws and then get back to us about on what is proper and what is not.

He doesn't. Goodell as the sole decision maker (per the CBA) declined to a hold a Supplemental Draft just like he has the past 6 years.

Since no supplemental draft was held he now is subject to the same rules as every other player in his class.

Now have other players been kicked out of school for rules violations and the league still held Supplemental Drafts for them? Yeah but never has the credibility of the league been called into question like it would if they do it for this clown. A bunch of people too stupid for college and guys who like smoking pot arent the same as a guy who enjoyed betting on his own games.

At this point he should sue his own lawyer for predatory behavior if he really intends to sue the NFL. No way that guy is going to out lawyer the NFL so he's just adding more billable hours now. Dekkers might end up better off financially than Sorsby if he can land on a practice squad.

Eh, you might want to look into his legal team. They have lots of history of "out lawyering" the NFL.

It doesn't appear he has a case but I'd have said the same thing against the NCAA
