Source: Free Agency Could Start Very Soon

As the league scrambles to process the meaning of the union’s decision to decertify, a high-level source with one team tells PFT that the league is preparing for the possibility that free agency could begin soon.
As in at midnight.
Per the source, the league is bracing for the possibility of a ruling from Judge David Doty that would force the doors to remain open, compelling the league to allow player movement and trades as soon as 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
Thus, by tomorrow at this time, Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha could (key word . . . “could”) have a new team.
Though no one knows for sure whether that will happen, there’s a fear/belief that it could, and teams are preparing for the possibility.

Not saying it won't happen, but they did say FA could start Saturday... and now it's Monday. I don't care how much Doty sides with the players, he isn't going to be able to come out with a ruling until at least a month from now on this issue. And even then there is a chance that he looks at the fact that the Union came back only a few years after the last time the players union dissolved and claim that the Union in essence is still intact making it legal for the owner to lock out the players.

Won't be until after the lockout court case on April 6th
