The most likely result would be the court issuing a preliminary injunction to prevent Ralph from playing with any team other than the Jets during the lawsuit. This is because Ralph would be in breach of contract with the Jets, and the court would want to maintain the status quo until the case is resolved. However, this does not prevent Ralph from negotiating a settlement with the Jets or Giants during the legal proceedings. It is unlikely that the court would order specific performance (i.e., forcing Ralph to play with the Jets) or award compensatory damages, as these remedies are generally not favored in contract law.
