A week after the NFL announced it would not be holding a supplemental draft for Brendan Sorsby, the league has confirmed that the former Texas Tech and Cincinnati quarterback will not be taking legal action.
When the NFL first shared its decision to not hold a supplemental draft for Sorsby after he was ruled ineligible from the NCAA after gambling on college football, Sorsby’s lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, indicated they would fight the league’s choice. Kessler wrote in a statement last week, “This is an unlawful action by the NFL in violation of the CBA. We will be taking this matter to the NFLPA.”
