Will QB Brendan Sorsby’s NFL Future Be Decided by Four High-Stakes Questions Amid Gambling Scandal?
“Once you get past whatever your standard would be for [selecting] him athletically — and that on top of your own investigation — the first thing, or one of the first things you have to know, is whether he’s facing a suspension and how long that will be,” one AFC general manager said. “Because you’re looking to add him to your current roster this season if he’s in the supplemental [draft]. That has [salary] cap impact, roster impact, all sorts of things to consider.”
One executive added that the NFL could actually prefer to make any suspension a pre-condition for Sorsby’s acceptance into a supplemental draft, rather than convening a punitive process after he’s selected. Or there could be an agreement to accept his entry into the supplemental draft on condition that he go onto the commissioner’s exempt list until the league concludes any investigations.
