A common question has come up in connection with the NFL’s decision to slam the door to the supplemental draft in Brendan Sorsby’s face.
Can’t Sorsby just sign with an NFL team as an undrafted free agent?
The short answer is he can’t.
The long answer is, no, he can’t.
No player can sign with an NFL team without first being available to be drafted. With the NFL not granting his application to be drafted, Sorsby won’t be available to be drafted until April 2027.
He could sign with a team as a free agent only after being available for a draft and going undrafted. Before that, he must enter the NFL through a draft.
