Since day 1 this has been about a lockout. The players are locked out of the facilities. This does not change because the owners have ratified the agreement. If the doors were unlocked, the players would show up tomorrow. The problem is, until the players agree to recertify and sign the paperwork, the owners will continue to lock them out of the facilities.

The owners can not hire replacement players for the simple fact that the "lockout" applies to all football players, not just the ones who were previously employed. The facilities are locked untill their is ratification by the NFLPA and a union is reformed. (Though rumors of allowing players to enter befor the union is reformed have been mentioned if the players "promise" to reform it)

I know, its fun to think about in fantasy land guys, but get real.

The real problem they are running into is that the players want specific things accomplished that can only be accomplished if they were acting as a union, which they currently are not. This is the entire hold-up with the CBA
