Sorsby

It’s been awhile since the NFL has had a supplemental draft. It’s not an every year thing, and holding a draft for one player is kind weird

For sure!
Per AI- the last supplemental draft was in 2023 with no players selected, and the last player to be drafted in a supp draft was in 2019

I don’t think it’s a question of “canceling’ a Supplemental Draft, as it is a decision of whether to hold one.

There was no Supplemental Draft scheduled for this year. A petition or application to hold one was submitted by Sorsby and his representatives. And it was denied.

Yeah. The NFL is being too cute by half. They should have just announced there was no supplemental draft and shut the fuck up.

By releasing the denial to the media before Sorsby’s counsel and making public statements, they are attaching challengeable cause.

And considering this attorney has defended the NFL on this very topic, you can rest assured this isn’t some shmuck trying to get some publicity.

They’re undermining their own argument under article 6 by how they’re going about this.

I’m not saying how this goes, but I really think even without the NFLPA’s help in this, if they win at the first level at an expedited hearing which could happen however unlikely, the NFL will find itself in a really bad spot legally.

They should have just held it and no one taken him or colluded without officially colluding like they did with Michael Sam (and understand, I was a huge supporter of his), held the supplemental draft and no one draft him and then it’s over.

Every time the league tries to “send a message” it blows up in their face like Wile E. Coyote.

Maybe the NFL needs to stop gambling with it’s anti-trust exemptions before a real big case comes along and wrecks them.

I don't know that I agree with all that

The league has the sole discretion whether or not to add a supplemental draft, with no players eligible, they arent having one
Pretty simple stuff
