Indianapolis Colts
Sorgi was drafted in the sixth round in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. While there, Sorgi proved to be an adequate back-up to starting QB Peyton Manning. In his first season, Sorgi played against the Denver Broncos, throwing for 175 yards and 1 TD. In the 2004 NFL season, Jim Sorgi completed 17 of 29 attempts and threw for 175 yards. In the 2005 NFL season, he gained slightly more playing time, and completed 42 of 61 attempts for 444 yards. The bulk of his playing time in 2005 came in the game against the Seattle Seahawks at the end of the regular season.

In the 2008 season, he did not take the field until the final regular-season game. He had a majority of the playing time in the 2008 preseason, as Peyton Manning was recovering from knee surgery. As of the end of the 2008 regular season, he had six career touchdown passes and one interception.

On December 9, 2009, Sorgi was placed on injured reserve due to a strained right hamstring.

Sorgi was released by Indianapolis on March 5, 2010.

New York Giants
Sorgi signed with the New York Giants on March 9, 2010. Entering camp, Sorgi was expected to back up starting quarterback Eli Manning, but in a preseason game against the New York Jets, Sorgi tore the capsule in his right shoulder, and was later placed on season-ending Injured Reserve. Following the season, he became an unrestricted free agent.
