Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby could be set to declare for the Supplemental Draft amid his gambling allegations, making him one of the most intriguing prospects to consider doing so in years, given that he was a candidate to be a first or second-round pick in next year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a player who is in the conversation for the top two rounds next year in the draft,\u201d an executive said, via The Athletic<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the guys who (scouts) were excited to evaluate. They were excited (about) this year and saw steady progression.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf he comes out in the supplemental draft, he\u2019s going to be the most consequential prospect in a long, long time,\u201d another executive said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe got caught,\u201d said an anonymous coach of the gambling. \u201cHe\u2019s probably not overly different from kids in college football or sports in general. They\u2019re going to make mistakes. We all did at that age.\u201d<\/p>\n The Packers didn\u2019t have a first-round pick this year after sending it to the Cowboys for Micah Parsons<\/a>, along with their first selection in next year\u2019s draft. Mike Sando of The Athletic<\/a> cites an anonymous executive who is skeptical of their approach, saying that a lot hinges on their development of players like QB Jordan Love<\/a>, WR Matthew Golden<\/a>, and WR Christian Watson<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a little worried about them,\u201d the executive said. \u201cTaking a step back, it\u2019s depending on how some of the guys they already have develop: Jordan Love<\/a>, Matthew Golden<\/a>, Christian Watson<\/a>. They lost a ton on defense in free agency. I\u2019d be worried about the corner position.\u201d<\/p>\n Regarding second-round CB Brandon Cisse<\/a>, another executive asks if he will instantly earn a starting role.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey drafted Cisse, who has had some moments, but it will be interesting to see how he plays as a pro, and it\u2019s not clear how much he\u2019ll contribute right away,\u201d the executive said. \u201cThe defense is going to be a question mark. They are treading water in a division where Chicago has gotten better, Minnesota could be better with improved quarterback play and Detroit is still a physical team.\u201d<\/p>\n Packers director of football operations Milt Hendrickson will participate in the NFL\u2019s coaching and front office accelerator program at the owners\u2019 meetings in Orlando this week, per ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler<\/a>.<\/p>\n J.J. McCarthy<\/a> enters the 2026 season with serious skepticism around his ability to be the Vikings\u2019 starting quarterback. Minnesota OT Brian O\u2019Neill<\/a> stood behind McCarthy, saying he\u2019s still early in his career and has great command of the locker room.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf I was judged after my first 10 games in the NFL, I\u2019m not playing right now. It\u2019s still so fresh, and he\u2019s only going to continue to get better\u2026 you hear the term lose the locker room. He had the locker room more than anybody I\u2019ve seen ever,\u201d O\u2019Neill said, via VikingsWire<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Looking for the latest NFL Insider News & Rumors?<\/p>\n Be sure to follow NFL Trade Rumors<\/a> on X.com<\/a>\u00a0and FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0for breaking NFL News and Rumors for all 32 teams!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby could be set to declare for the Supplemental Draft amid his gambling allegations,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":783303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2073],"tags":[19694,59985,8042,1501,7,1519,1724,701,491,233,259,2529,6,234],"class_list":["post-901527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-minnesota-vikings","tag-brandon-cisse","tag-brendan-sorsby","tag-brian-oneill","tag-christian-watson","tag-football","tag-j-j-mccarthy","tag-jordan-love","tag-matthew-golden","tag-micah-parsons","tag-minnesota","tag-minnesota-vikings","tag-minnesotavikings","tag-nfl","tag-vikings"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116639638712798782","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
