So...to idiots like myself, what does this mean right now? before Game 1? for the future of football?

Right now it means that the NFL is legally obligated to lift the lockout, as of right now.

I would say that it ensures we will miss no football this season, no matter how happy or unhappy the NFL, and the owners, are with it.

And, I think that it means the players just got an enormous amount of leverage in the negotiating.

Okay so we can have trades and free agency as soon as tonight or what?

Not necessarily, but the league year has to start. The NFL has to set up the year, and that takes a while. They can drag their feet as long as they can show they aren't stonewalling to the judge.

But won't the NFL have to return to business as usual until the 8th circuit court rules on their appeal?

Once again, legally that's supposed to be what happens, but from what Goodell and reps of the NFL have been saying all day, they might try and postpone and delay that happening as long as they can, preferably until the 8th Circuit has rendered their decision.

Nelson, who lifted the NFL lockout on Monday, has denied the league’s request for a stay on her ruling. The league wanted to keep the lockout in place and avoid starting the new league year until their appeal was heard, but Nelson was unmoved.

She wrote that the NFL “has not met its burden for a stay pending appeal, expedited or otherwise.”

The NFL continues to lose in the courtroom, which means we are getting closer to teams being forced to fully open their doors for business. The league is rapidly running out of legal maneuvers.

Judge ordered NFL to start its league year immediately, but said no team is obligated to sign free agents. Trades in question.

Also, per Adam Schefter:

Judge ordered NFL to start its league year immediately, but said no team is obligated to sign free agents. Trades in question.

So, the new league year is to start as of right now, I would assume.

They can't drag their feet for too long... if not for the lockout, which the court has lifted, the new league year would have already started and there would be FA and trades right now, so how can the owners justify not starting the new league year right away?

Lesson for the owners: good luck finding a court that will feel sorry for a bunch of billionaires claiming they don't make enough money in the middle of a recession.

It's more like: Good luck finding a liberal judge that's NOT going to rule in favor of a union.

This is why the owners feel confident that it will be overturned on appeal (because they will be standing in front of conservative judges).

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.

      I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
