The Brendan Sorsby soap opera took yet another turn on Tuesday, with the NFL announcing that there will be no 2026 Supplemental Draft.

The NFL holds the right to determine whether or not a supplemental draft is held each year, and there hasn’t been one since 2023, with no player selections made since 2019.

In a letter that was sent to Sorsby, who announced his plans to enter the draft last week, the NFL says that they had no plans in holding a supplemental draft this year, and that didn’t change once Sorby submitted his petition to be eligible.

“Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans,” the letter reads. “The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.”

Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech after playing 12 games for Cincinnati last season, has been at the center of a back-and-forth court case regarding his eligibility after he admitted to betting on college football games, including games involving the programs he played for.

As of now, Sorsby is eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft. While Sorsby has first-round talent, he’s viewed more widely as a Day 2 pick, and his off-the-field issues could prevent him from being drafted at all.

While the Jets have veteran Geno Smith and used a mid-round pick on Cade Klubnik, the team is still searching for their quarterback of the future, which connected them to Sorsby as a potential suitor in the supplemental draft.

Now, if the Jets do have any interest in Sorsby, they’ll likely need to wait until the 2027 draft or thereafter.
