Report: NFL intends to ask 12 million dollars compensation and costs of lawyers for complaints

Report on Wednesday from Don Van Natta Jr. and Kalyn Kahler of ESPN.com is Chock full of striking nuggets As for the agreement on the agreement that the Association of NFL and NFL players were hidden from all over five months.

Here is one, from the first sentence of the final paragraph of the article: “Wednesday, a source acquainted with the league office said that the NFL informed the Alliance of its intention to seek legal fees and costs more than $ 12 million.”

It is a direct byproduct of the Decision of the Association of the NFL player to Ranpaeach PostDing litigationBy performing the right to appeal against the decision.

As one source with the knowledge of the situation talks about PFT, the NFL previously offered to quit the fees of law compensation and costs in exchange for NFLPA. It is not an unusual move on Repuna by the final legal requirement.

Although most accused in the US civilian justice system cannot claim the return of lawyers, the basic costs of civil litigation costs are paid – usually at the discretion of the Chairman of the Judge. Thus, the accused puts the petition on the cost of the costs, and the prosecutor decides to leave the lawsuit of Mary appeals to eliminate the chances of writing a great view to the other side to the other side.

That could be the next step in this case. The NFLPA is appealing to the preservation of persons, considering that there was a meaningless concealment of partial success in the event of cooperation. Then, after the NFL officially submits a repayment request for more than 12 million dollars compensation and costs, the NFLPA can perform the cost analysis of the costs of possibly loss of complaint and I possibly lose $ 12 million.

Each such analysis should contain a fair and objective assessment of the ordinary language of the collective negotiation agreement. Section 17. Section 15 CBA: “In any action brought to the alleged violation of section 1. of this Article (ieA request for cooperation), the system arbitrator orders the payment of reasonable lawyers and costs by any party found to have adopted such action or that the Defense brought such action Without any reasonable basics for the claim of such claim or defense. Otherwise, each party will pay their such lawyers and expenses. “(The emphasis was added.)

How could anyone reasonably trust, based on the outcome of the case, that the NFLPA brought the case “No reasonable basis” for that? The arbitrator found that the NFL Management Council, with the blessing of the Roger Goodella Commissioner, called the teams to join the guarantees in the player’s contracts. League just won because the arbitrator accepted the predictable, self-service of rejection of agreement – and neglected and / or explained the failure in terms of the surrounding evidence of the actual agreement.

Here’s what leaders of the NFLPA player should understand. The effort to replace its appeals to remove the chances of $ 12 million would be more evidence that the current administration cannot properly accept a partial victory, and valuable evidence that NFLPA has achieved.

Roll cubes before the three judges panel. Damn the torpedo as a big, bad great protecting effort to extremely $ 12 million fees and costs from the Union.

The case was brought with a reasonable basis for the claim of an agreement request. NFL tried to get teams to participate. If this is not a reasonable basis for applying, what is?

Unless the arbitrator is stupid or corrupt, the repayment request will be quickly rejected. And the appeal is a proposal of nothing loss.

Let him drive. Let him go. And don’t accept Clunky’s negotiation that would be worth much more in the league than it would be in the union.
