Starting quarterback Dak Prescott is signed to a $260 million contract, but they possess an out-clause in 2028,&#8221; Melo wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">&#8220;If the next few seasons don&#8217;t bring better results in Dallas, the Cowboys could seriously consider going in a different direction as Prescott approaches his mid 30s,&#8221; Melo added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Based on\u00a0supplemental draft rules, the Cowboys would have to make a bid using a\u00a02027 draft pick to get Sorsby. Dallas is slated to have five selections in next year&#8217;s draft, including one in the first, second and third rounds, and two in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">That&#8217;s not a great draft pick situation by any means, but if Dallas truly believes Sorsby can be the quarterback of the future, subtracting from that stable would be worth it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Why Brendan Sorsby may lose eligibility<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden

TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Sorsby has been the center of controversy recently after he made the decision to step away from football to\u00a0address a gambling addiction.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">But the NCAA claims Sorsby broke a rule amid his gambling after he bet on Indiana football games while at the University and, as of right now, he isn&#8217;t eligible to play.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Sorsby is now waiting for the NCAA to make a ruling on his reinstatement, but the possibility remains he could lose his eligibility permanently, which would end his college career.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">&#8220;The Association&#8217;s sports betting rules are clear, as are the reinstatement conditions,&#8221; the NCAA said. &#8220;When it comes to betting on one&#8217;s own team, these rules must be enforced in every case for the simple reason that the integrity of the game is at risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Sorsby has since\u00a0filed an injunction against the NCAA in court in order to regain his college eligibility for 2026, and the injunction hopes for a ruling from the court before the supplemental draft entry deadline on June 22.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">&#8220;The NCAA has weaponized his condition to shore up a facade of competitive integrity, while simultaneously profiting from the very gambling ecosystem it polices,&#8221; Sorsby&#8217;s filing says.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">The expectation is that if Sorsby permanently loses eligibility, he will enter the supplemental draft in late July.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Sorsby, who was set to make about $6 million in NIL money this year, was widely viewed as one of the top college quarterbacks going into the 2026 campaign and could be one of the first quarterbacks off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">All of that points to someone who will draw plenty of interest in the supplemental draft, so the Cowboys could have multiple opponents if they do have interest.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Why Cowboys could draft Sorsby<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden
