    With the league in a lockout, NFL players aren't permitted to use team facilities and are working out on their own. Two players will try to stay in football shape by playing the game -- in the Arena Football League.

    Cleveland Browns receiver Rod Windsor(Above) signed with the AFL's Arizona Rattlers on Wednesday. He follows the path taken by Dallas Cowboys receiver Troy Bergeron(Below), who signed with the Cleveland Gladiators earlier this week.

    Both players were on the practice squads of their respective NFL teams last season and played in the AFL before joining the NFL. They remain under contract with their NFL teams but are allowed to sign with other pro leagues because there is no current collective bargaining agreement.

    Teams are not permitted to contact their players about anything during the lockout.

    Two players I've never heard of....so I can't blame them for this. Help stay in shape and get a paycheck in the process.

    I agree. They both were on their teams practice squad. They need the money and work on some skills as well.
