Kessler Frames Sorsby's Supplemental Draft Exclusion as CBA Violation
TL;DR
Brendan Sorsby was barred from the NFL supplemental draft. His attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, says the exclusion violates the NFL's collective bargaining agreement (and the law) and plans to contest the decision with the NFLPA, which could challenge the move since the supplemental draft was created by the CBA. While Sorsby is not yet an NFLPA member, potential legal avenues, including a court challenge, are being explored, though no lawsuit has been filed; the decision also freezes Sorsby out until 2027.
