Will QB Brendan Sorsby’s NFL Future Be Decided by Four High-Stakes Questions Amid Gambling Scandal?
“But that doesn’t mean that’s how it will go,” the team president said. “I’m sure this will be a lot of meetings for [Goodell] and everyone who is dealing with overseeing gambling and the game’s integrity since [vice president and general manager of sports betting] David Highhill left the league office.”
One last path the NFL has — and this is significant — since the league determines the timing of the supplemental draft, it could make a determination that the draft will not be held until Sorsby’s application is approved. And the league could then decide that the application won’t be approved until it completes its own investigation into what led to his NCAA eligibility being forfeited. If the league were to take that step, it could operate on whatever timeline it wished. At least until there was some legal standing to challenge the length of the investigation, which would be unprecedented territory.
