The Cowboys should stay open to acquiring quarterback value, and the NFL Supplemental Draft could provide a rare opportunity to select a high-end developmental quarterback. Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility situation is unusual, since his college eligibility could be in question for 2026, and the NFL could approve a petition that would make the Supplemental Draft his path. Dallas would need to be prepared for that possibility. The Supplemental Draft requires blind bids by round, and winning a bid costs the corresponding pick in the future NFL Draft. The Cowboys could gain flexibility if compensatory picks are expected, especially with many unrestricted free agents. The selection would focus on developing a real quarterback asset rather than only replacing Dak Prescott.
"The only controversy would be the gambling issue because he would not be coming in to take Dak Prescott's job. We can squash that potential storyline. Dak Prescott is the guy. What I am saying is the Cowboys should always be in the market for quarterback value, and the NFL Supplemental Draft could give them a rare chance to take a swing on a high-end developmental quarterback."
"Brendan Sorsby's situation is not normal. He transferred to Texas Tech after a strong season at Cincinnati, but now his college eligibility is in question. If he cannot play college football in 2026 and the NFL approves the petition, the Supplemental Draft could be his path. And if that happens, I think Dallas needs to be ready."
"The Supplemental Draft is not a free lottery ticket. Teams submit blind bids by round and, let's say the Cowboys used a 2027 third-round pick on Sorsby and won, they would lose that third-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. That could be the price. Here is where it gets interesting. The Cowboys could have extra 2027 draft flexibility once compensatory picks are handed out."
"I know some folks will say, "Why water a third-round pick on a backup?" That's looking too small. This would not be about finding a backup, but developing a real quarterback asset. Dak can't play forever. It's always nice to have a quarterback in waiting. Brendan Sorsby is not some random name being tossed into the Cowboys rumor mill."
