The Brendan Sorsby saga has reached its conclusion.
In a letter addressed to Brendan Sorsby, the NFL has informed the quarterback with dreams of playing in the league this season by way of the supplemental draft that said draft will *NOT* be held this year. And just like that, it looks like Sorsby — who applied for the NFL Supplemental Draft last week — won’t be playing anywhere in 2026.
Some scoops from around the football world:
Sources: The NFL has informed Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby there will be no supplemental draft this year, rendering him ineligible to play in the league this season. The league told Sorsby it is the NFL’s “sole discretion” whether to hold a draft. There will be none in 2026. pic.twitter.com/vOd6Koqhnt

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) June 23, 2026In a letter to Sorsby obtained by @NFLonCBS, the NFL writes that his issues "are too significant, and too closely tied to the League's ore integrity interests, to permit meaningful review" with only 3 business days from application filing to the deadline.

— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) June 23, 2026There is a strong possibility that it is “wait til next year” time for Sorsby when it comes to his NFL aspirations. However, that Brendan Sorsby’s representation calls the league’s decision “a violation of the CBA and the law” adds a new layer of intrigue to this bit of news. Perhaps the saga isn’t over. But for all intents and purposes, it might as well be.

Unless something unexpected happens, the decision not to hold a supplemental draft means that Brendan Sorsby is ineligible to play college football and the NFL this season. This doesn’t mean he can’t play professionally elsewhere. But Sorsby cannot sign a free agent contract with an NFL team as of right now. So, if he wants to take his talents to the highest level, he will have to wait until the 2027 NFL Draft.
Should that be how the cookie crumbles, then Sorsby will join what projects to be a loaded class of signal callers:
The highly touted 2027 NFL Draft QB class now potentially includes, among others: ? Arch Manning? Dante Moore ? Jayden Maiava? Julian Sayin? Drew Mestemaker? CJ Carr? Trinidad Chambliss? Nico Iameava? Darian Mensah? LaNorris Sellers? Brendan Sorsby
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) June 23, 2026The 2027 NFL Draft could be a very beneficial one for the Chicago Bears. With the team not expected to need a starting quarterback going into the 2027 offseason, Chicago could benefit from a quarterback-heavy draft class. A reminder of what’s at stake via colleague Matt Rooney:
“We know that when the draft rolls around, QB-needy teams aren’t afraid to reach for a quarterback they think could be their guy or sell themselves on one that has all the tools and traits. Now, this number can be debated, but I think we could have as many as 11 teams in the market for a first-round quarterback. And in a QB-heavy draft like this one, there will certainly be several options available for teams to choose from.
And that’s where the positives for the Bears start to kick in. I think anyone who watches or covers the Bears would tell you that, at least as of now, Chicago’s biggest need in next year’s draft will likely be on the defensive line or at offensive tackle. Looking at PFF’s big board for next year, there are four interior defensive linemen, five edge defenders, and six offensive tackles making an appearance.”
