Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
so does this mean that the 8th circuit will order the season to be played under 2010 rules until a settlement is reached? -
Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
I think the owners will file for an appeal and a stay ASAP. In fact I would be surprised if the owners did not have that paperwork done already. They have to get the stay ASAP or I would think that you would be (at least) able to trade players, sign FAs and trade players during the draft. This could get wild if the owners do not get the lockout reinstated in the next 24-48 hoursOriginally posted by JOHN DELLAPELLELast edited by gggbills; 04-25-2011, 05:11 PM.Comment

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
What a mess.
Technically, free agency has begun.
However, I can easily see the NFL talking with the teams and telling them to not make any moves... however, thats a possible anti-trust suit.
I don't think anything will happen as far as transactions now.

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
I just don't think we will see any transactions until the appellate decision on whether to lift the stay or not.Originally posted by JOHN DELLAPELLE

From LaCanfora:
"Bottom line now is unless appeals court breaks from Judge Nelson's ruling, the NFL will be open for business once appeal process complete"

I think that's the most likely situation right now. I don't think any transactions will occur until the appellate court rules on this.

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
Is the appellate court going to rule very soon? they will probably side with judge susan, correct? in other words the nfl is open for business under 2010 rules until a settlement is reached or the appeals process goes through...Comment

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
Let me start by saying I don't know. But, my guess is that the NFL won't impose 2010 rules until they get a decision on the appeal. But, it would seem that technically the NFL is open for business.Originally posted by JOHN DELLAPELLE

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
There will not be any rules. The 2010 contract is officially null and void... It's a free for all IMO
but I also believe the owners don't want chaos and won't act...
if the appeal courts doesn't over turn, my money is the owners negotiate the best revenue sharing % they can get plus $1 bil off the top and we will have a new CBA.
the owners are looking for any leverage they can get to get that % # down more....

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
Amazing the timing considering the draft is Thursday...Appeal will be made on Monday...just enough of an open window to allow trades at the draft.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.Comment

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
Unfortunately for the NFLPA, the judge ruled on the basis of who would be hurt more. She did not judge on what the laws say on this, or whether a lockout is illegal.
The NFL stands a very good chance of winning this one on appeal.
But... given what I understand... the judge told the league to impose its own rules. So, if they really wanted to, they could just impose everything they want (the rookie pay scale, the 18-game season, etc.). But... that would likely just lead from a lockout to a strike.Comment

Re: Lockout Lifted...No Stay
But if the NFLPA has decertified the players can't vote on strike action, because doing that means the NFLPA is acting as a union, and therefore the owners win.
This ruling could work in the owners favour.
