“NFLPA” files request against stay to Judge Nelson

As of 10am EST Wednesday morning, the “NFLPA” filed their opposition to the NFL’s request for a stay.

According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network the players asked for a $1 billion bond if the stay is granted.  The $1 billion bond would represent approximately 25% of the value that players were compensated for during the 2010 league year.  The NFLPA estimates $1 billion would be the value of damages done to the players by issuing a stay.

The players also argued that the league is unable to prove that they will be successful in appealing Judge Nelson’s decision and that the grant of a stay of execution is not in the public’s interest.

The NFL has until 6pm EST on Wednesday to inform Judge Nelson why the league year should not start.
