The Broncos’ Demaryius Thomas and Cowboys’ Dez Bryant remain unsigned.
The NFLPA said it believes the Broncos and Cowboys talked to each other about the two players’ contracts.
The collective bargaining agreement prohibits such contact.
The NFLPA is trying to find out if collusion did occur and when to file a potential claim, according to the ESPN report.
