NFL lawsuit; 2. the NFLPA must recertify as a union; 3. the NFLPA must ratify the new CBA. ... Step 1 is done. Now it's up to the players to get their side of things together -- first accepting the proposed settlement the league just voted on. It seems likely that some kind of conditional agreement that might allow the players to report to team facilities in advance of the lockout officially being lifted to vote on recertification. ...
