Ongoing CBA discussions

[SolidSnake84]

I think they know that the lockout is inevitable at this point. There is no point to have meetings when they already know that they can't change anything....sad.

But maybe, let's hear it for the Replacement Redskins?? Shane Falco as QB maybe???

I think your right. I thought I read somewhere that the owners didn't like the judge who decides the issue's because he leans towards the players more then the owners issue's. The owners want him removed and the players don't. I thought it said the owners want the Lockout cause then the Judge who is in place now would no longer have authority and a new Judge would have to be picked? I might have read it wrong but it sounded like the owners were wanting the Lockout in part for that reason unless the players agreed to picking a new Judge prior to the Lockout.

I know thats not the meat and potatoes of the Lockout but I wonder how much other stuff is in the CBA that after the Lockout occurrs would be null and void, and the owners want it removed so they are not binded by the old rules.

From: San Francisco Chronicle: NFL Considering Replacement Player Options?

07:11 AM ET 05.06 | At this time of year, unsigned players are working out in hopes of signing as free agents. It's also an interesting time for the teams, as they look ahead to the possibility of a lock out in 2011. Fringe players might become starters if there's a long labor dispute. The NFL went with replacement players in 1987 during the last protracted labor stalemate. The league might already be making preparations and rumors are they are going to buy a 25 percent stake in the United Football League. The UFL, which now has five teams and plays six games in the fall, could become a feeder league along the line of NFL Europe. However, if there's a long lockout, UFL players could possibly become NFL players overnight.
