NFL Cancels Supplemental Draft Again

Jun 30, 2021 8:07 AM

The NFL will not hold a supplemental draft for the second straight year, a source has confirmed.

The supplemental draft is available for players whose eligibility situations changed after the January declaration deadline for the regular draft.

The Arizona Cardinals made the only pick in 2019, the last year the supplemental draft was held, when they selected safety Jalen Thompson in the fifth round.

Under the collective bargaining agreement, the NFL has the right to decide whether to hold the supplemental draft each year.
