    The NFL supplemental draft originally scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed.

    NFL spokesman Michael Signora confirmed Tuesday that the draft will not be held as planned and that teams have been told a new date has not yet been set.

    Signora did not say whether former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor would be available for selection.

    Pryor was seeking a meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell to make a case for being declared eligible, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen on Sunday. Goodell was reviewing the facts of Pryor's case.

    The rules that govern eligibility for the supplemental draft state simply, "To be eligible for a supplemental draft, a player's petition for special eligibility must be approved by the League office and his name promulgated to clubs."
