Supplemental Draft ?

The Browns Board

  • Quick Question, Can a Player not drafted enter the Supplemental draft? I know you are going to say, if he wasnt drafted then, why would he be drafter now, but hear me out. Since there is a lockout, and no one can sign, would teams be able to rework out players and maybe like what they see and draft them?

  • Since 1977, the NFL has also held a Supplemental Draft to accommodate players who did not enter the regular draft. Players generally enter the Supplementary Draft because they missed the filing deadline for the NFL Draft or because issues developed which affected their eligibility (such as athletic or disciplinary matters). The draft is scheduled to occur at some point after the regular draft and before the start of the next season. In 2009, the Supplemental Draft occurred on July 16. In 1984 the NFL held an additional draft for players who were under contract with either USFL or CFL teams........

    ......

    As of the 1990 season, only players who had graduated or exhausted their college eligibility were made available for the supplemental draft. Since 1993, only players who had planned to attend college but for various reasons could not have been included in the supplemental draft.

    So no... if they even have Supplemental draft, it would not even be possible for them to enter the it.

    Thank you very much.

  • The only people who can become part of a supplemental draft are those who would not have been eligible to enter the regular draft, but then later become eligible to be drafted.
