Possible Ruling today.

a player would have ratted a team out by now.

Right. Just like all the QBs out there with no idea what the next years' playbook will look like.

Players may rat out teams, but it won't happen until after deals fall through, which can't happen until the CBA is figured out. And while I'm sure there are some "win and a nod" things going on, I doubt anything has been done in writing, or in any way that would satisfy a burden of proof.

If there is free agency at midnight, how many deals will be done tomorrow morning that cause a little suspicion over some teams possibly breaking communication rules?

I thought they were going to have a 24-48 hour period where teams could negotiate with their own free agents prior to them hitting the open market?

That means free agents as soon as midnight tonight, holy shi-

STOP! There will NOT be any player trades, no free agents, nothing. The second she rules the other side will appeal and it is back being locked up.

All today does is stop this bull poo dog and pony show that both sides are putting on 'negotiating'. Nothing will get done till the courts rule and make the sides do something. The appeals process will take about 2 months if we are lucky. That will put us in August which means no free agents then either because camp should have already started.

:confused: I don't think so. I think you are referring to an injunction meaning a quit halt to a judge's ruling. No way the owners are going to tick off the head judge in the case by going that route. An appeal will not freeze her ruling although it may put pause in the teams wanting to sign free agents if they fear a successful appeal will void any new contracts they sign although I think that is unlikely since they will be done in good faith.

Actually, you can STOP too! According to this article it's completely up to the judge!

"Judge Susan Richard Nelson could rule Monday on the Tom Brady lawsuit, and, by doing so, she'll give some direction as to how the next few months will go in the NFL.

Her ruling will have an impact on those teams considering the seven or eight top quarterbacks in this draft. If, for example, Judge Nelson lifts the lockout but allows the case to go on appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court, the lockout could stay in place at least through mid-June, which affects the ability of those rookie quarterbacks to prepare for the 2011 season."

As long as she doesn't allow it to go on appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court, we should be good!

So there is a possibility that we can and will see free agency during the draft! If that occurs there will be A LOT of scrambling being done by all teams, and GM's being that they probably weren't prepared for this! Should make for one hell of a draft if she rules against the league!

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
