The Cleveland Browns might be looking to add some quarterback depth through an unconventional route, with NFL analyst Tony Grossi of 850 ESPN Cleveland suggesting the team could have interest in Brendan Sorsby via the NFL supplemental draft.

Sorsby, who transferred from the Cincinnati Bearcats to Texas Tech in January for a reported $5 million NIL deal, now faces uncertainty over his college eligibility due to gambling allegations. That potential roadblock could push him toward the professional ranks, even though the NFL hasn't held a supplemental draft since 2023.

For Browns fans, this scenario carries a touch of nostalgia. Cleveland famously landed Hall of Famer Bernie Kosar through the supplemental draft in 1985, using a loophole that reshaped franchise history. While Sorsby isn't expected to reach those heights, the connection adds intrigue.

According to Grossi, the cost to acquire Sorsby could be significant. "From what I've heard early on is someone would probably bid a 2nd round pick on him," he noted. That raises the question: would the Browns be willing to part with a second-round selection for a quarterback who has yet to prove himself at the highest level?

For a team with Super Bowl aspirations and a franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson, investing that kind of draft capital in a developmental signal-caller might seem risky. But in the ever-evolving landscape of NFL roster building, teams are always looking for value—and Sorsby's arm talent and mobility could make him an intriguing project.

Whether the Browns ultimately pull the trigger remains to be seen, but this is certainly a storyline worth watching as the offseason unfolds.
