Statement from the office of Brendan Sorsby’s attorney Jeffrey Kessler:
In late April, we inquired with the NFL about the process for gaining entry into the Supplemental Draft. The response from the League was that all that was required was a short application, which needed to be submitted prior to June 22. At no point did the NFL indicate that it would need or want to review anything other than the application itself or that submitting the application at or close to the deadline would have any impact on the NFL’s consideration.
Last week, we requested the NFL’s supplemental draft application. The application asked for basic biographical information, responses to four yes-or-no questions and included a small space for Mr. Sorsby to state “why are you applying for the 2026 Supplemental Draft?” It did not provide an opportunity or ask that Mr. Sorsby submit any additional documentation or information. Mr. Sorsby fully completed the application and submitted it to the NFL within hours of receiving it.
Mr. Sorsby’s agent followed up with the NFL to ask if any additional information was needed or if the NFL had any questions. The NFL declined that invitation.
The NFL gave its letter purporting to deny Mr. Sorsby entry to the Supplemental Draft to the media before sending it to Mr. Sorsby. He learned that the NFL was not planning to hold a Supplemental Draft when the media reported it.
#Jets QB Geno Smith was investigated Sunday for an alleged battery, but no charges were filed and the case is now closed.
Police responded to Smith’s home after receiving a call, checked everything out, and left without taking anyone into custody, per @AndySlater.
The full blockbuster trade, per @AdamSchefter:
Rams get:
• Myles Garrett
Browns get:
• DE Jared Verse
• 2027 1st-round pick
• 2028 2nd-round pick
• 2029 3rd-round pick
Cleveland views Verse as essentially another 1st-round pick in the deal.
Matthew Stafford thought he was ready for the league until he met Jared Allen and the Vikings defensive line.
51 dropbacks and 37 hits is the ultimate reality check for a rookie. Who is the most feared defender you have ever watched?
The new episode is dropping tomorrow on X.

The #Steelers will select Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor at No. 21.
Iheanachor’s path is unique: he was born in Nigeria, moved to the U.S. at age 13, and only started playing football in junior college. He surged up boards after a strong Senior Bowl.
TRENDING: Future #Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza has gone viral for throwing the first pitch at the Miami #Marlins game tonight.
Many professional quarterbacks continue to struggle to throw a baseball properly and to throw it for a strike. https://t.co/Bsn380EcF5
