As it is now, the arbitration may walk a fine line around that as is.

The agreement Goodell forced the NFLPA to take was the new evidence needed for a collusion law suit.
But I do agree with you I think DS and JJ are playing a game at this point. They found a way around the rules, but not breaking them. The other owners are pissed and complain. Nothing is done until now and it's done 2 hrs to FA to hinder both teams as a form of punishment. Do I think it will be reversed? yes, but the other owners are not going to make it easy. Plus I think some teams used that CAP space for their teams. Kinda hard to give back if its been used.
Now we sit and wait. DS and JJ thought by filing the owners would get nervous and give it back, they didn't. So the closer it gets to the Arbiture stepping in and actually looking at the whole situation could the league change their mind if they don't see DS and JJ backing off? yes, then both teams would drop their Arbitration suit. Could it go to the Arbiture? yes, and he agree with the two teams and the league be forced to give it back (which I actually think will happen). Could the two teams lose in Arbitration? yes, then I'd imagine both owners would have to decide if the Arbiture looked at something specific they feel would over turn everything and if the Arbiture didn't or was not allowed to then I foresee a law suit. Which puts it back to square one.... the other owners possibly giving back the money before it goes to trial or..... DS and JJ either not going the legal battle or calling it off at the last minute and we are just Butt out.
