Brendan Sorsby Is Waiting Until 2027, and Future Seahawks QB Battles Just Got More Interesting
Hold up, 12s, we just got some wild news that's gonna have us thinking way ahead for our Seahawks! Remember all that talk about quarterback Brendan Sorsby and his eligibility drama? Well, it's finally settled, and let me tell you, this guy is now officially on the radar for the 2027 NFL Draft. This isn't just some casual announcement, folks. This is a full-blown agreement between Sorsby and the NFL, hammering out the future path for a player who could very well be a game-changer down the road.
The Battle For 2027 Eligibility Is OVER
So, what actually went down? Multiple reports, now confirmed, spill the beans: the NFL and Brendan Sorsby have reached a settlement. This whole thing was about his exclusion from the 2026 supplemental draft, a real head-scratcher that had everyone talking. Under this new deal, Sorsby won't challenge the league's initial decision, and in return, the NFL is clearing his path to enter the 2027 draft. It was a smart play by Sorsby, not just walking away from the fight. Who knows what other hurdles the league might have thrown up next year? This way, he's got a clear runway. The NFL Players Association even got in on the negotiations, though they were in a delicate spot since Sorsby isn't actually a union member yet. Once he gets drafted, or even signs as an undrafted free agent, he'll be part of the NFLPA, but for now, it was a unique situation.

Why Seattle Needs To Keep Sorsby On The Radar
The league wasted no time getting the word out. On Tuesday, the NFL fired off a memo to all clubs, and we got the scoop on it. The memo confirmed that there won't be any more legal drama with Sorsby or the NFLPA regarding his entry into the league. Instead, Sorsby is going to focus all his energy on getting ready for the 2027 NFL Draft. The big takeaway for teams like our Seahawks? For all League and CBA rules, Sorsby is officially "Draft-Eligible" for 2027. That's a huge stamp of approval right there. It also means he won't be able to sign an NFL Player Contract until the 2027 NFL Draft is completely wrapped up. With Sam Darnold under center for us right now, it’s always smart to have an eye on future talent. This decision, locking Sorsby into the 2027 class, means he's a name we absolutely need to be tracking. The landscape for future quarterbacks is always shifting, and knowing who's in play this far out gives our scouts a serious head start.
So, while the 2027 Draft feels a lifetime away, moves like this reshape the future. The NFL just gave us a definitive answer on a top prospect's timeline, and it's time for every team, especially our Hawks, to start doing their homework. The question now isn't if Sorsby will enter the league, but which team will snag him. Get ready, 12s, the future is always happening, even if it's two years out!
