Very similar to Star Caps in that the NFL may have violated State and or Federal laws in regards to contracts.

all true, which all means Vilma might be playing against the Redskins.
How long was Starcaps, 2 full seasons?

Exactly, the main component of that case was over a a state law that the players were not notified by the NFL within 3 days and less to do with the substance. This case is that one on steroids which is why I find it odd there are no reports stating that all player suspensions could be put on hold. It's a real scenario that, in the end, could have nothing to do with bounties. It could come down to breaches of the CBA. The players could play for a couple more years until a verdict is reached. Even if they lose it would not matter considering their ages. The NFL would be left with a a big bill and a bunch of retired players.
