Summary
Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL Supplemental Draft amid an NCAA gambling scandal. He was promised $5 million for his final season but will take a pay cut by entering the draft. Sorsby was caught betting on his own team and received an injunction to play in 2026, but the Big 12 filed a complaint to ban Texas Tech from the championship game. He opted to enter the Supplemental Draft to preserve his future.
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Brendan Sorsby’s gambling habit gets a new name: a career move. He trades a $5 million NIL contract for a chance at the NFL. The Supplemental Draft is his safe haven from NCAA drama. He’ll take a pay cut, but at least he’ll get paid. The question is, how much?
He joins the ranks of Supplemental Draft signees like Bernie Kosar and Brian Bosworth, who earned over $1 million per season. Sorsby might see a similar payout, but it won’t match his Texas Tech deal. He’s betting on himself, again.
