For the fourth year in a row, the NFL will not hold its supplemental draft, as confirmed by Sports Illustrated. The draft is for players facing a change in eligibility, offering them another chance to join a team after missing the regular draft.
Teams are categorized based on previous season results, and bids are placed for players in the draft. If a team picks a player in the supplemental draft, they forfeit their equivalent regular draft pick for the following year.
The Arizona Cardinals last made a selection in the supplemental draft in 2019, choosing safety Jalen Thompson. The supplemental draft, starting in 1977 for college students, has included non-college players since 1993.
