Players are ready to go back to federal mediation

They want a settlement mediation, NFL wants to go back to collective bargaining.

edit: NFL doesn't want federal mediation because they don't want a federal judge overseeing the next labor deal.

Right, that's the difference... (was just doing some reading on it...)

The owners will likely reject this offer from the players.

I think the judge is giving the owners enough rope to hang themselves by not forcing them to federal mediation, but suggesting that's what they should do and making it pretty clear she's leaning towards the players right now.

If the owners refuse to submit to federal mediation, then I think she will rule in favor of the players and grant the injunction. By refusing to submit to mediation, the owners are once again demonstrating that they are not dealing in good faith.

The owners and players realize this is the game being played by the judge, which is why they are doing all this posturing about returning to mediation... both have made a point of sending letters to one another today suggesting different forms of mediation, the owners don't want another judge overseeing the next CBA.

I wouldn't think it matters that much, a mediator has no power to rule over decisions or anything. They just try to help the two sides reach a mutually acceptable deal.

If this was arbitration or something, then yeah. But mediation is nothing to worry about from the owner's perspective.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
