Brendan Sorsby Shakes Up NFL Plans as Buccaneers Lead Race in Supplemental Draft

Brendan Sorsby Announces Intent to Enter Supplemental Draft

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has officially declared his intention to enter the supplemental draft, a process that will take place in July once the league approves his application. The supplemental draft offers all 32 NFL teams the chance to bid on players who are not eligible for the regular draft. This unique opportunity allows teams to acquire players by submitting bids for specific rounds, with the highest bidder securing the player’s rights.

However, there is a catch. If a team wins the right to a player through the supplemental draft, it forfeits its draft pick in the corresponding round of the upcoming NFL draft. This means that teams must weigh the potential value of adding a player like Sorsby against the loss of a valuable selection in the 2027 draft.

Odds for One Team Skyrocket

Recent betting odds have shown a significant shift, with one team leading the pack by a 10% margin. On platforms like Kalshi.com, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have emerged as the clear favorites to draft Sorsby, with a 35% chance of securing his services. Other top contenders include:

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 35%
• Pittsburgh Steelers: 25%
• Cleveland Browns: 16%
• New York Jets: 14%
• Denver Broncos: 12%
• Green Bay Packers: 12%
• Minnesota Vikings: 11%

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ strong position is understandable given the uncertainty surrounding Baker Mayfield’s future with the team. With Mayfield’s status unclear, the Buccaneers may be looking for their next franchise quarterback. Similarly, the Pittsburgh Steelers could also be interested, especially considering Aaron Rodgers’ plan to retire after the 2026 season.

Sorsby’s College Stats

Brendan Sorsby has put up impressive numbers during his college career at Texas Tech. Over the course of 35 games, he recorded:

• 594 passing completions
• 968 passing attempts
• 61.4% completion percentage
• 7,208 passing yards
• 60 passing touchdowns
• 18 interceptions
• 1,295 rushing yards
• 22 rushing touchdowns

These stats highlight Sorsby’s versatility as both a passer and a runner, making him an attractive option for teams looking to add depth at the quarterback position.
