Players are thinking on filing an injunction...

[Ruff]

... for the free agents and rookies.

In Friday’s ruling allowing the lockout generally to proceed, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit concluded that, regarding the rookies and unsigned free agents, the lockout possibly could be prevented until they sign contracts. Though this ultimately is a distinction without a difference, the process of requiring the league to open the doors for the purposes of signing rookies and free agents before systematically locking each one out after giving them seven-figure-or-more signing bonuses would create, as the NFLPA* lawyers called it in a memo obtained by Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, a “bizarre chaos.” (Is there another kind?)

To trigger that “bizarre chaos,” the named plaintiffs in the Brady class action would be required to file a motion with Judge Susan Nelson, who would then hold a hearing as to whether the lockout should be lifted for players not currently under contract, until they are signed to new contracts.

I'm still waiting for that PFT ban.

*IF* this happened it would be crazy and would pro-long this lockout...

Not to mention that the lockout could very well be over by the time it's even heard in court. This should have been done months ago...

Seems to be that anybody who is NOT under contract should be able to do whatever the he'll they want... That's just me though

Same here. PFT is the worst media outlet for Football. How they have any credibility is beyond me.

If it's legit, then we can find a link to it from some other website with a trace of respectability.

They couldn't have done this months ago, because they didn't know how the court was going to rule until last Friday, when they actually ruled.

Good point... Wasn't thinking about it that way... And that IS the right way to think about it

Meaningless for rookies. Team are not going to sign them to contracts until the Rookie Payscale is agreed to in the new CBA.

Ahhh...this thread is now complete following a quote from the visionary Kat Williams.
