That could be the judges ruling and most likely will be, however, the judge can act as final arbitrator if he sees the need for the judgement if fairness is already jeopardized.I'm not sure about the LMRA but the FAA shouldn't permit the Court to modify the arbitration award. This isn't an issue like incorrectly adding up the judgment amount or ruling on an issue which should not have been addressed. If there is an issue with the process, the result should be vacation (negating) of the award which would put the parties back to where they were before the arbitration.
It would make no sense for a Judge to send back the case to the NFL to suspend Zeke again when its already deemed the NFL having unfair practices and as the judge says, can not be fixed.
