Browns Coach Says Team Not Considering Texas Tech Quarterback in Supplemental Draft
Cleveland Browns head coach stated the team has no plans to select Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft. The coach cited uncertainty over the player's eligibility and past league penalties for gambling violations.
sportsnet.caCleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said the team is not pursuing Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft. Monken addressed reporters on Monday and stated that the possibility had not been discussed internally. He noted the team's existing quarterbacks and described any move as a risk given the player's situation.
"Not at all. It's not even come across my desk. I don't think we're in a position to want to go down that road — that's my opinion," Monken said. "I like the quarterbacks that we have. I think that's a slippery slope, irrespective of talent.
If he enters the supplemental draft, any selecting team would forfeit its 2027 second-round pick. Monken said decisions on such selections rest with team management.
He added that past gambling cases in professional sports have led to lengthy suspensions. The supplemental draft allows teams to select players who become eligible after the regular draft period ends.
