We are still waiting for an official announcement from the NFL, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter says a lockout is a done deal.
Schefter reports that the NFL owners will lock the players out midnight, as expected. (Although some in the league legitimately thought we could be headed for bizarro free agency.)
The union will try to block a lockout. And based on some information Florio wrote about earlier tonight, they may just be able to pull it off. Any court ruling would have to wait until Monday at the earliest.
In the meantime, we’ll let you know when the NFL lets us know anything official.
