The Cleveland Browns are not expected to pursue Brendan Sorsby in the Supplemental Draft.

The Philadelphia Eagles might be ready to make another big move — this time 1 that might dictate the future of the offense.

According to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Jason La Canfora, the Eagles were ready to use a 2nd round pick on Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft — something that seemed like a moot point until Monday.

“One GM told me if college QB Brendan Sorsby would have entered the supplemental draft he thinks the Eagles would have taken him in the second round,” La Canfora wrote. “Jalen Hurts has no guaranteed money beyond this season, and the Eagles are always looking to upgrade. Even a past Super Bowl MVP might not be enough unless Hurts steps up his game.”

Sorsby, who had already been banned from playing in 2025 over online gambling, was reinstated to play by a judge in Lubbock, but found himself in the middle of the crosshairs of almost every other NCAA institution, and all 15 other teams in the Big 12 Conference had already come out in opposition to his being allowed to play.

Projected as a 1st round pick in the 2027 NFL draft before the scandal, news broke Monday night that Sorsby would be entering the supplemental draft.

“Sources: Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby plans to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft,” ESPN’s Pete Thamel wrote on his official X account on Monday night. “Amid the legal wrangling over his NCAA eligibility after admitting he bet on sports, he intends to head to the NFL.”

Hurts, who has been the Eagles’ full-time starter since 2021 and was named Super Bowl LIX MVP, was a 2nd round pick in the 2020 NFL draft. He also has 3 years remaining on the 5-year, $255 million contract extension he signed in April 2024.
