Sorsby to enter supplemental draft

Am I correct on how this works

Every team can sort of blind bid to take him in any round highest bidder gets him. Then the winning looses the equivalent round pick next year.

Otherwise he is a FA

 

Did he at least bet on his team to win?

Also now that gambling is essentially legal, does it matter?

I’d always heard the argument as being a player that gambles is gonna get in deep to the wrong kinda dudes and then they’re going to force the player to throw games or shave points or whatever.

But like is draft kings sending dudes in track suits to your house? Your kids school?

 

Correct you are.


Either a team can forfeit a pick to select him in next year's draft or they can sign him as a UFDA should he go unselected.

 

I believe this is correct

 

I am curious now, as he committed to Texas Tech for this year and has been ruled eligible to play for them this year.

Can any college player enter the NFL's supplemental draft? Seems like a player could use this 2nd draft as a way to avoid the worst teams in football. A team that spends an early 1st round pick on a QB in the regular draft is not going to spend another 1st round pick on a QB in the supplemental draft.

 

OK, I got it now. I watched this video and they said Sorsby is going to withdraw his objection to the NCAA suspension tomorrow, thus making him eligible for the NFL's supplemental draft. Maybe???

 

so we will have 5 qb's? 3 of which we have no idea if they can play at this level. are we turning into the browns?

 

We need to find a QB and may have to draft one Rd 1 next year pending the situation but with old man Rodgers here I don’t think they want to cut Howard and we wouldn’t have the space.

 

Don't think I follow you here.


A team can only make one pick at a time; supplemental draft or not.

 

He's asking what happens if two teams offer a 3rd round pick, and that's the best offer, who gets him.

 

The NFL is not required to have a supplemental draft simple because a player declares for it. The league can skip it if there are no eligible player or they don't want to have one.

 

Ah.


If that is the case, whichever teams has the higher priority.
