The NFL working together to bar a player from the league is a violation of the collective bargaining agreement. So it’s ok for any one team to decide that they don’t want to sign him, or even for all 32 teams to decide not to sign him provided that they all came to this conclusion separately. But it’s not ok for the league office to try to influence the individual teams as to whether they should sign a player or not.
