Might be another 2-4 months before we know anything.

Labeling the current talks just a "ruse," CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman refutes a report that the owners and players are taking the second round of mediation seriously.

After speaking with sources on both sides, Freeman believes mediation is just a "song and dance, ritualistic, done to satisfy Judge Susan Nelson" and the public at large. Although both sides want to come across as serious, the chances of mediation leading to a deal are "about the same as David Hasselhoff winning a Grammy." The players are confident that Judge Nelson will rule in their favor while the owners believe a more conservative court will reverse that decision on appeal. If Freeman is correct and neither side is willing to compromise, expectations should remain low.

Per rotoworld.

i thought i heard that she could make her ruling by as early as next week.

Yeap, but then owners will appeal. So it will be at least 2 more months after the appeal.

And if owners lose again, they can appeal again. Cool huh? They want players to beg for mercy.

He would be right on all counts. It is a sham and a waste of our time. Next the Judge will rule for the players initially and the appeals courts will rule for the owners in the end.

The owners have prepared for this for over two years now, there is no way in hell they go to court if they didn't KNOW the would win in the end. they also know the players will fold because 80%of them aren't multi millionaires and will go broke pretty soon

      I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.

      Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
