What happened: Brendan Sorsby and the NFL have reached a settlement resolving claims tied to the league's decision not to hold a supplemental draft. Under the agreement, Sorsby will enter the 2027 NFL Draft and will not pursue litigation over the matter.

Why it matters: The resolution ends a standoff that began when the league declined to stage a summer supplemental draft, a move that had blocked Sorsby's bid for an earlier entry. It gives the quarterback a defined timeline to the NFL after months of uncertainty.

What to watch: Watch for Sorsby's pre-draft preparation and where he slots into the 2027 quarterback class.
