Overview
- The NFL told all 32 teams and Sorsby in a letter Monday that it would not hold a 2026 supplemental draft or accept his late application, citing integrity concerns and limited documentation.
- The NCAA declared Sorsby ineligible after investigators concluded he wagered roughly $90,000 across thousands of bets, including some placed on his own college team.
- The Canadian Football League announced it will not register a contract for Sorsby and forbade teams from adding him to negotiation lists, closing a likely alternate route to pro play this year.
- Sorsby’s legal team says it will press the NFLPA and consider court action, with attorney Jeffrey Kessler arguing the league’s refusal may violate the collective bargaining agreement.
- With college reinstatement denied and both the NFL supplemental path and the CFL closed for 2026, Sorsby’s realistic options are junior college, lower‑tier indoor leagues, or sitting out to prepare for the 2027 draft while he addresses accountability and treatment.
