## Resource

Mike Florio tells Ken and Anthony he doesn't think Sorsby plays football in 2026, walking through why every backup option, from the CFL to the UFL to non-NCAA ball, is a worse alternative than just preparing for the 2027 draft. Florio argues the NFL's actual case is shaky since the CBA contains no "purity test" for supplemental draft eligibility, and points out the league held a supplemental draft for Josh Gordon without issue, making this rejection look like a targeted departure from precedent rather than a real rules-based decision. He's most struck by the public reaction, questioning why Sorsby has become so much less sympathetic than Maurice Clarett or Terrell Pryor when no teammates have spoken against him and his betting habits were arguably a product of a sports culture the NFL itself profits from and normalizes. Florio closes by noting that even a team like the Steelers, with their own gambling-soaked ownership history, would have little real principled objection to drafting him.
