*Sources say the af2 owners have not approved this, therefore this change really only frees contract bound players to other indoor leagues. 
To Whom it may concern:
This confirms the agreement of the Arena Football League and it's Teams (collectively, the "AFL"), and the Arena Football League Players Association ("AFLPA") that regardless if a player is under contract with an AFL Team, all players shall be immediately and completely free, without any penalty or restriction of kind, through March 1, 2009, to negotiate and sign a contract to be employed as a player or other employee in professional football (whether indoor or outdoor) in any league other than the AFL (including without limitation, af2, CFL, NFL, UGFL), including with respect to any contract covering a period of employment extending after March 1, 2009.
Should you have any further questions regarding the right of AFL players to freely sign a contract in any other professional football league, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerly,
Richard Berthelson and Edward R. Policy.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN EXACTLY? THEY CAN GO UP TO THE DEADLINE OF 3/1/09?
It says "through March 1st" so I am guessing it means just that.
hey ben
why do you think they are going to change the name of the dragons?
I have to address that at a later date.
Idk why ownership would change the Dragons name from New York to Long Island. I thought they were trying to truly make it a "New York" team and start marketing in the city and surrounding burroughs. People in NYC will rarely support a Long Island team.
I agree and I also thought so, but it was apparent to them that 99% of their attendance came from LI anyways.
