NFL clearly got the memo on the public reaction to Sorsby’s ridiculous posture. Well done NFL to call Sorby’s actions out for what they are.
My guess is Sorsby’s next move is to threaten to sue the NFL. Good luck with that.

Wait, choices have consequences? Color me surprised.
I would think his next move is to just wait for the 2027 NFL Draft. He is already being paid $5 million by Texas Tech this year to do nothing.
He can spend the year training and rehabbing his image or potentially even play in the CFL if he wants to make some more money.
I wonder if the NFL is thinking more about the future than just Sorsby and his connection with gambling. It seems that gambling is becoming more prevalent, and the league may be trying to send a message to players that the rules against gambling including it own will be enforced.
Off topic, but how about a pick 'em contest this year? I will throw in a $25 gift card to the Brown & Gold for the winner!

I think he sues the NFL. Probably under some sort of declaratory judgment claim.
The NFL didn't say to him just wait for the NFL Draft and you will be fine if a team selects you...it said "We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft..."
The addition of "possible" clearly tells me that a lawyer reviewed this and that the NFL is thinking of potentially its own suspension or sanction to Sorsby under its CBA authorities. I wouldn't be shocked if the NFL is planning to wait for him to enter his name in the 2027 NFL draft and then announces that he is suspended for a year effectively limiting Sorsby's draft potential. This is why I think Sorsby sues so he can have a more definite path forward.
