Could this mean the lockout is over?

Teams better take advantage of this now. They could easily use 2010 rules so they can sign free agents and/or trade currently signed players. Personally they should not bother with tendered players since their status could change with a new CBA. I'm sure many teams would rather go into the draft having had the opportunity to have a short free agency period.

2010 rules blow so hard though...

Most of the FA are older than what we need to rebuild the roster.

That's not true. Free agents can be signed, teams just don't have to sign free agents. I suppose that's kind of always been the case though

They do suck but the league will likely not go back to the the old CBA rules. I would imagine that the easiest thin to do is to go back to 2010 rules. A one day free agency period would alow us to unload McNabb and maybe AH (for close to nothing most likely for AH).

If the redskins pick up those free agents, thats fine with me...but I'd like for them to be protecting Jake locker next year.

Hey so can we trade McNabb and Stainsworth? That could add a few picks. Along with trading down 12 picks :)

The question is whether or not any team wold sign any agents as they would be crossing some kind of "party line". Are the politics of this as such that they would stand united in not signing any guys until the labor agreement is in place.

It is interesting as it would give a team reading to break party lines first dibs on the best FA.

McNabb...maybe. Haynesworth? Here I have a used car. All it needs is new transmission. Believe it or not teams aren't very interested in raiding the Redskins roster.

Agreed. Haynesworth will have to be cut. We aren't getting anything for him.

She is married, but you can still stick a credit card in her bra and touch her tittie.

I'm no lawyer, but with my limited understanding, I think such a move to band together and avoid signing free agents would be considered collusion and would violate US antitrust laws.

It's OK if [U]some teams[/U] elect not to sign free agents. But it's not OK if [U]all teams[/U] get together and say hey nobody sign anybody until we get what we want. That's effectively the same thing as locking the players out, which is exactly what they were just ordered to stop doing.

In my view, free agency is open for business NOW. It's just all the NFL teams are looking around for guidance. They're all basically wondering "OK, WTF do we do now?"

Unfortunately for the NFL (and fortunately for us as Redskin fans), the answer is free agency bonanza with no salary cap in place. It's just going to take some time for everyone to realize that.

re: Updated Title: 8th Circuit Court Grants Stay, Lockout Reinstated
 
All they needed to do was discuss new safety rules and a rookie wage scale. Instead the owners wanted even more money. Even though the split is basically 50-50.

Goodell is to much of a politician. I'm near the breaking point with him. 2 extra games? Banning the 3 point stance?

Can you guys do me a favor and keep the annoying banter to a minimum? You're making this thread unnecessarily longer causing me to sift through multiple pages just to read about 5 posts of worthwhile information on the most important topic facing the NFL right now. It's annoying.

And you caused me to add to the length by writing this cranky post. Harumph.

Sorry. Guilty.

Your previous post was dead on. If the NFL is smart, it will decide to impose last year's rules at 8 AM tomorrow. Otherwise the hot water that the teams are in will just get deeper.
