What Are The Procedures Now Regarding Names, Likeness, etc. for NFL Merchandise?

I was just thinking, if I'm not mistaken, the NFLPA had to sign off on allowing games like Madden to use the players names, photos, etc. So what is going to happen to Madden now if the NFL is still locked out in late-July or September? Will there not be any Madden if there isn't a CBA?

And what about things like jerseys? Will they cease to produce any more jerseys until a new CBA is reached?

It just seems very weird right now. I saw Schefter on SC this morning and they were talking about how Chris Cook (IIRC) from the Vikings was arrested recently for pulling a gun on someone in a fight, but he can't be punished because there isn't any player conduct policy now. They also said there isn't a drug program (have fun Ricky Williams!) and that players won't even be able to be punished retroactively. This is crazy.

Why do you think the players were pushing so hard for this, duh!

On the real thou(H)GH, I expect we will see quite a few players comeback with a lot more bulk than they had before.

      Raiders interviewing Panthers DC Ejiro Evero for a second time next week

      He impressed Pittsburgh and Las Vegas both in first Interviews. I believe he has a better shot at the Pittsburgh job than the LV one.

      Well if he comes back, he's signed through 2030 along with Dave Canales. They matched up Evero's contract with Canales.    January 2030 for both.    Edited to add this, with all the reporting, people missed Dan saying they were aligning their contracts together to end at the same time. (Canales 6 year deal from 2024-2030.)

      I also look at his work there and match it up against the planned obsolescence that is part of the NFL as it sits now. Part of what creates parity here is that as a team ascends, the costs of its players go up, the position of its draft picks go down, it's great players age or get injured to often, their assistant coaches get poached for higher positions elsewhere. And even the best of managers can't hold that off forever.  Great managers can only play the shell game for so long, covering one hole in the team while another wears through, betting it all on a small cadre of veteran stars, sifting through the diamonds in the rough, hoping for something great. Sometimes they can do it smartly, sometimes they just break and give in to the wrong contract here or there in a desperate attempt to hang onto something. Sometimes the voodoo juju just runs out and they find themselves catching up to that can they've been kicking down the road and they end up in cap hell for a couple of seasons. And sometimes they're just the Jets. And the managers are also at the mercy of the whole coaching deal... great coaches eventually falter -- their schemes become old school, their locker rooms change. It just all wears out over time and that's good for the whole of the league.vReally, did we want the Patriots to have yet another decade of dominance?
