It looks like the NFL lockout could continue for another few weeks. Chad Ochocinco and NFL Network's Albert Breer report via Twitter that the the NFLPA is expecting the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals to grant the NFL a stay until the appeal is heard.
Let's get up to speed with where we're at on the lockout.
Last week Judge Susan Nelson lifted the lockout which caused the league to temporarily open their doors for business on Friday morning. That only last a few hours as, by Friday night, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals had granted a temporary stay, which essentially put the lockout back in place for the time being.
In the meantime, the NFL lockout hearing regarding Nelson's ruling to lift the lockout was dated for June 3. The question then was whether the lockout would remain in place until the case is heard on that date (and then waiting for the ruling after that).
And apparently the NFLPA expects the courts to rule that the lockout will indeed remain in place. This would mean no free agency, no trades and no signings until it is lifted.
So, it sounds like we're expecting at least another month of the NFL lockout....
