SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (AH) —NFL
owners voted unanimously Thurs
day to continue the season even if
the players strike, using already dis
carded free agents and "whatever
players are available to play.”
At the same time, however. Jack
Donlan, executive director of the
Managment Council, announced
that negotiations with the NFL Play
ers Association will resume Saturday
at a site still to be determined.
He also disclosed that Gene Up
shaw, executive director of the
NFLPA, had met Wednesday night
with Commissioner Pete Ro/elle and
flew to Chicago Thursday morning
to meet with die Management Coun
cil’s executive commmittee.
The two sides have met for just
4 , /t hours since Aug. 14. Talks on
Sept. 2 were broken off over the is
sue of protection for player rep
resentatives. The contract expired
Aug. 31 and the players have voted
to strike Sept. 22, after the second
week of the season, unless substan
tial progress is made toward resolu
tion of the dispute.
The major issue remains free
agency.
The players are seeking a system
that would allow players to move
from team to team without any kind
of compensation or right of first re
fusal.
The owmers are willing only to lib
eralize the current system, which re
quires a team signing a free agent to
provide compensation. Just one
player in 10 years has changed teams
under that system.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) —The
Houston Oilers, besieged by leasing
problems at the Astrodome, would
consider relocating to San Antonio if
a domed stadium is built, the team’s
owner says. , _
A special committee is seeking
50,000 signatures to force a referen
dum vote in January for the $150
million, 65,000 seat stadium planned
near downtown San Antonio.
Oilers owner K.S. “Bud” Adams
says the team would consider mov
ing if it does not resolve its lease dis
pute.
“It would be a way for us to stay in
Texas,” Adams said Wednesday.
“And 1 really don’t want to leave
Texas. I’ve been here since I got out
of the Navy in 1946.”
The Oilers currently are trying to
resolve a lease problem with the
Houston Sports Association, which
leases the Astrodome from Harris
County and then rents it to the NFL
team,.
Adams’ rental contract expires at
the end of the 1987 season.
