Update: Lockout lifted, NFL requesting stay.

4

Judge Nelson ruled in favor of Brady et al. today, lifting the NFL lockout. Nelson lifted the lockout without a stay, which means that as of right now, the NFL is open for business all the way through the end of the NFL's appeal to the 8th circuit court. The appeal could easily take a couple of weeks, and unless a stay is granted, free agency is open going forward. The NFL has already said they are appealing the decision.
