The NFL closed a door and social media opened a rumor fire. Incompetent rollout by the league created avoidable chaos for Sorsby’s camp. Want the facts? Ask which alternative route you'd bet on.

**Sorsby’s NFL Path: Closed — Now What?** 1) What the league letter says (TL;DR). 2) Realistic alternatives: appeal, other leagues, college return. 3) Fantasy & front-office consequences. Which route looks likeliest? Comment your pick.

No supplemental draft = instant eligibility freeze. That’s not drama, it’s a procedural result. Don’t amplify rumors — ask for the league memo and compare past cases.

When leagues change procedural paths without clear comms, players and teams face reputational and transactional risks. Recommended actions: 1) cite the official NFL memo, 2) model contractual timelines, 3) advise agents on contingency planning. Avoid sloppy response narratives.

Title: Sorsby Eligibility: Quick Options Guide Description: Checklist: 1) Appeal timeline 2) Alternative leagues 3) Return-to-college tradeoffs — use for agent contingency planning.

Hook: No supplemental draft — Sorsby’s NFL window slammed shut. Now what? Script: 0–2s: Headline flash. 2–8s: Show the league letter excerpt. 8–14s: Visual mapping: appeal vs CFL vs college. 14–24s: Quick expert quote caption. 24–30s: CTA: 'Which path would you pick for him?' Comment trigger: Appeal, CFL, or wait for next year — what would you choose for Sorsby?
