Judge Susan Richard Nelson told the NFL and NFL players that she will impose forced mediation on them early this week, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The league had wanted more mediation in Washington, while federal mediator George Cohen and the NFL Players' Association wanted mediation in Minnesota.

So what does this mean?

Good, that's the only way a deal is going to get done anytime soon... glad the judge stepped up.

Means this judge is smart and she's using her unknown position as leverage to get the ball rolling again.

I asked the exact same thing when I posted it. I'm glad i'm not the only one who didn't completely understand it all
