League Operations & Player News

The NFL has decided against holding a supplemental draft for the upcoming season, a move that effectively closes the door for Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby to enter the league this year and leaves his future uncertain. This decision serves as a firm message regarding sports wagering, with league officials indicating that such activities can lead to significant repercussions as reiterated by the NFL's denial of Sorsby's entry. Elsewhere, the league is navigating contract extension negotiations across all 32 teams, with the latest buzz indicating potential new deals for numerous players, including Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts. Pitts and the Falcons reportedly agreed to a three-year, $54 million extension featuring $36 million fully guaranteed, according to sources.
