The NFL announced Tuesday they will not be holding a supplemental draft for the second straight year.
Players in the supplemental draft are generally players, who for one reason or another, failed to enter that year’s draft.
How teams pick players in the supplemental is by submitting a bid to the commissioner — in essence, where that team would pick that player. Highest bidder gets the player, but then has to forfeit that pick in the upcoming draft. For instance, if the Houston Texans used a second-rounder in the 2021 supplemental, they would forfeit their second-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
