The 5th amendment encompasses property rights, and there is no more important property right than the right to the fruits of your labor.

Let me go get the precise portion of the 1st Amendment and I'll get back on that.

"Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

He is not being deprived of the fruits of his labor (even if that could be his arguement here which I very much doubt) he is free to work in any of the other football leagues.

The 5th doesn't even come close to applying to him.
