The Miami Dolphins made a bold move this offseason by signing Malik Willis to a three-year deal, signaling a new era under center. But while Willis is locked in as the starter for at least the 2026 season, the Dolphins may already be eyeing an upgrade—and it could come from an unexpected source.

According to NFL insider Albert Breer of The MMQB, the Dolphins are one of four teams that could target controversial quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the 2026 NFL supplemental draft. Yes, the supplemental draft—a seldom-used mechanism that has only seen one quarterback taken since 2011, when Terrelle Pryor went to the Raiders in the third round.

Sorsby, a 22-year-old former three-star recruit, began his college career at Indiana before transferring to Cincinnati, where he spent the last two seasons. Over his collegiate career, he completed 61.4% of his passes for 7,208 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions. He also added 1,305 rushing yards and 22 scores on the ground, showing off the dual-threat ability that makes him intriguing at the next level.

But Sorsby's path to the NFL is anything but straightforward. After transferring to Texas Tech in January, his eligibility for the 2026 season is now in question due to a gambling investigation that led him to take a medical leave for addiction treatment. To make matters worse, the University of Cincinnati is suing Sorsby for breach of an NIL contract. If he's ruled ineligible to play in 2026, he could enter the supplemental draft—a route the NFL hasn't used since 2019.

Here's where it gets interesting for the Dolphins: Teams selecting a player in the supplemental draft forfeit their pick in the following year's main draft in the same round. Breer suggests that some teams, including Miami, might be willing to use a second-round pick on Sorsby, which would cost them their second-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Why take such a risk? For a team like the Dolphins, who are building for the future, adding a young quarterback with starting experience and athletic upside could be a savvy long-term play. While Willis provides stability now, Sorsby could develop into a valuable asset—or even a trade chip—down the line. It's a gamble, but in today's NFL, having too many quarterbacks is never a bad problem to have.
