The hope is to avoid the beginning of free agency and offseason  programs with the potential that, if the 8th Circuit rules in its favor,  the lockout could be reinstated in the coming weeks or months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will promptly seek a stay from Judge Nelson pending an  expedited appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals,&#8221; the statement  said. &#8220;We believe that federal law bars injunctions in labor disputes.  We are confident that the Eighth Circuit will agree.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>DeMaurice Smith, co-class counsel and Executive Director of the NFLPA said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m happy for our players and for our fans.
