What happened: The NFL, the NFL Players Association and quarterback Brendan Sorsby have reached a settlement resolving claims tied to the league's decision not to hold a supplemental draft. Under the terms, Sorsby will not attempt to enter the league before the 2027 NFL Draft, for which he will be eligible.

Why it matters: The agreement ends a months-long standoff that began when the NFL declined to stage a summer supplemental draft, a decision that had blocked Sorsby's path to the pros. It replaces an open-ended dispute with a fixed timeline, building on earlier reporting that he had reached terms with the league.

What to watch: Watch whether Sorsby returns to competitive play during the interim and how he positions himself entering the 2027 draft cycle.
