Report: NFL, NFLPA agree to pause collusion litigation indefinitely following January ruling

The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to pause “everything” in regard to litigation following January’s collusion ruling, according to NBC’s Mike Florio. This report comes after the NFLPA announced its decision to seek an appeal six months after the ruling.

“The pause, per the agreement, ends whenever one of the two sides wants it to,” according to Florio. “By choosing to file an appeal of system arbitrator Christopher Droney’s January 14, 2025 ruling, the NFLPA has unpaused the process.”

Florio’s report states that the case is now able to move forward. A three-member appeals panel will consider the ruling.
