    NFL supplemental draft rules

    The order for the supplemental draft differs from the standard draft. To determine the order for the supplemental draft, teams are divided into three groups: teams with six or fewer wins the year before, non-playoff teams with more than six wins and playoff teams. The order for each of these groups is then determined by a weighted lottery system, giving an advantage to the team with the fewest wins the year prior.

    Teams then place bids on a player they are interested in taking and the round they would select that player in. If multiple squads bid on a player in the same round, the team higher in the draft order lands the player.

    Sounds like gambling to me. Aloof politics.  This is gambling but the nfl allows it, but doesn’t allow it? Which form of gambling is acceptable? Guess is the one that gets NFL Owners all of the money, not unlike Atlantic City and Las Vegas. 
     

    go play the lottery, you will likely win…. Ok. MLB NBA NFL don’t care… what puts money in my pocket. Any owner knows that is the goal.

  • I'd put in a 7th round offer.  And make him Watson's room mate.

  • He should have been "investing" in "prediction markets". Even better if he has any insider information...

    That is because he was a closer.  It isn't that hard to find a good closer.  It's more about being given the ball in the 9th inning. Replacing a QB is a different matter.

    Did they let him cash in on the chicken wings special before handcuffing him?

    NICE!  I'm not heavy - just easy to cook for...

  • Betting allegations? Character concerns? He sounds like a Cleveland Brown to me.

  • Reading into the greeting and body language when Shedeur met Monken I don’t think this is happening.   Sorsby in equals Shedeur out and out without an opportunity. 

  • @dutch-oven said:

    Good points both ways.  I’m interested…Could be wrong but I don’t think it is going to take a 3rd rounder.  Would you take a 5th (we have many). He gets a redshirt year and gets help perhaps put on the Commissioners exempt list he’s not counted on the active roster.  We use 2026 to evaluate the guys we have now.  Watson likely not back in 2027, same with Gabriel and unless Shedeur flashes in a significant way we will likely look elsewhere and his team or our team will probably want him out of Cleveland.  So you have Green Sorsby and 2027 draftee.  Maybe you flip Sorsby for a higher pick in 2027.

    That seems reasonable

  • The college season will be starting before we know it, here's one guy's opinion on the 2027 QB class... which should be of keen interest to Browns fans

    I'll never forget Art Schlichter or Pete Rose any more than either guy could never forget their addiction to gambling never goes away.  The NFL shouldn't allow someone like this to play regardless of how talented he is.  One has to wonder how many college and pro sports officials for basketball/football/baseball/hockey/etc that we're going to be reading about in the near future.  

    So, what is going on in our sports world today?  One can now gamble easier than ever as conveniently as online.  They're not missing any opportunities to advertise this either.

    The NFL will probably suspend him when he enters the league.

    But they'll let the TTUN coaching staff flee from college football after committing the biggest on-field cheating scandal and enter the NFL with open arms. 

    Interesting.

    Precisely Dutch!  And here's what followed Pete Carroll's departure from USC to the Seattle Seahawks besides a huge raise: image.png.b6a1799af816252aeed6a0d603b9749e.png

    If that's not enough - didn't Jimmy Johnson already have 2 SB rings in Dallas by the time the Miami Hurricanes went on Probation in 95 from stuff that took place during 3 of his seasons there followed by others after him?  That's just two of many reasons why I worded it "The NFL shouldn't allow" from my unobstructed viewing seat in the white noise section...  

    Let's pretend the NFL would suspend Sorsby and give him a chance - are you saying you would want him to get a shot at the Browns?  Would you trust the addiction habit he hasn't been able to control yet?   That's like giving a box of matches to a pyromaniac and assuring everyone: "don't worry I told him to be careful..."   

  • Throw in a fourth and take a shot.  4th rounders are a coin flip to make a roster anyway.

    But because he's nowhere near a Josh Gordon value, I'm not risking anything before day 3.
