The Lockout is Temporarily Lifted: Can we talk to Huff?

[TheCount]

Just popped into my head that the lockout being lifted for now, probably means we can actually speak with Huff officially, even if we don't make him an offer.

I think getting something verbal in place is crucial as it would allow us to pass on taking a safety, that would really free us up to do a lot of different things.

APAlthough NFL players were being welcomed back to team facilities this morning because of Judge Susan Nelson’s injunction to end the lockout, that is changing this afternoon.

ESPN is reporting that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has granted a temporary stay of the injunction and reinstated the lockout, meaning players will now be told to hit the road, and doors to team facilities are being locked this afternoon.

Temporary stay expected, ESPN retracts report that stay was granted

APIn the fluid situation that is the NFL labor mess, mistakes are being made — including a big one in the ESPN report that we cited just moments ago.

During the 1 p.m. Eastern SportsCenter, ESPN broke in with an on-screen graphic saying, “BREAKING NEWS: Court grants temporary stay of players’ injunction, reinstates NFL lockout.”

Note, says expected, so nothing definite i can find,

When the NFL released that info on lifting the lockout Friday morning, he mentioned that further rules and information would be released pertaining to signing free agents. So, I'm guessing it isn't allowed just yet.

They way I understand it, everything will start next week most likely monday. SO right now Huff is still a raider.
