CFL Bars Teams from Signing QB Brendan Sorsby in 2026

The CFL cited its player eligibility rules as the reason for blocking Sorsby’s 2026 contract, noting that his failure to enter the NFL supplemental draft makes him ineligible under league policy. The American quarterback had attracted attention with his college performances and was hoping to join a professional roster.

The decision raises questions about future prospects for other emerging players. CFL officials said the measure protects the league’s competitive balance.
