What would happen if NFLPA threatened for players to sign with UFL? (1 Viewer)

I believe only players not under contract (ie unrestricted and unfranchised free agents) could play in another league. I'm not sure that would really help the players out all that much anyway, as the league has a budget of about $4.18 cents. Once the NFL got back together, those in a nother league would be stuck uintil that league's season ended.

So that would seem to imply that existing contracts would have to be paid even if there was a lockout, or it would be a breack of contract by the owners. I guess that is what the decertification of the NFLPA would accomplish?Edit: if the players were locked out, resulting in a breach of contract by the owners, wouldn't the players be merely mitigating their damages by signing a one year deal with the UFL?

From what I have read, players under contract are allowed to seek other ways to make a living, but it would have to be something other than playing football. Don't ask me why, but that's what I've seen.
