IN 1987, the NFL Owners and Players' Association could come to a contractual agreement, so the NFLPA decertified and held a strike.
This strike cancelled the first week of the regular season, but, soon after, the teams started to hire replacement players to fill the voids in their rosters.
Some notable players crossed the picket line
early, they included: Reggie White, Joe Montana
and Steve Largent
The strike officially ended on October 15, 1987. The strike ended without a collective bargaining agreement, though, and the players had to wait another week to play because they did not meet the owners' deadline for returning.
On March 11th, the NFLPA decertified for the second time in 24 years.
There has been no work stoppage as of now, but there is also no collective bargaining agreement.
Like the Lockout in 1987, the NFLPA was filed a class action lawsuit against the owners for violation of anti-trust laws.
