Brendan Sorsby released a statement Tuesday revealing he will focus on his recovery and preparation for the 2027 NFL draft instead of pursuing further legal action after the league decided against having a 2026 supplemental draft.
“I accept 100% responsibility for my actions,” Sorsby said in his statement. “I did not have control of my gambling problem and it took getting caught for me to realize that, but it was truly the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Because of this, I have been able to get the help I need and fully focus on my recovery.
“… I am fully committed to being the best version of myself that I can be while getting ready for the 2027 draft.”
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the NFL sent its teams a memo Tuesday that said Sorsby will be considered a “draft-eligible” player in 2027 and not eligible to sign a contract until that draft is over.
