One NFL team 'doesn't want to deal with' Brendan Sorsby

With Brendan Sorsby attempting to enter the supplemental NFL Draft, multiple teams will reportedly keep tabs on his situation.

All 32 teams will be in attendance at his pro day on July 10, and at least a handful of organizations are expected to bid on his services. Given their surplus of draft capital and quarterback situation, the New York Jets emerge as an obvious fit for the former Cincinnati star.

However, ESPN's Rich Cimini revealed the team might not want anything to do with this drama.

The Jets might not be interested in Brendan Sorsby

"The Mougey/Aaron Glenn regime has steered clear of players with character concerns," wrote Cimini. 

Sorsby was projected to be one of the first quarterbacks off the board in next year's stacked draft class, trailing only Arch Manning and Dante Moore. Then again, placing over 9,000 wagers during his collegiate career, including in games involving his own team, is a major offense.

Given the PR nightmare that would come with it, the Jets might take a different course of action to find their franchise quarterback.

"Some evaluators consider Sorsby a first-round talent. Another disagreed, saying, 'if he's a clear-cut first-rounder, why didn't he come out [in the April draft]?'" Cimini added.

"Clearly, this isn't a routine player evaluation. One person close to the situation doubted the Jets' interest, suggesting 'they don't want to deal with it.'" 

As things stand now, Aaron Glenn's team will roll with Geno Smith at quarterback. It also has rookie Cade Klubnik, plus Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe. 

Even so, the Jets have three first-round picks in 2027, so they're in the best possible position to get the player they covet in next year's draft. With Sorsby likely looking at a season-long suspension anyway, they might as well sit this one out and wait a little longer to get their franchise quarterback.
