The court will enjoin Ralph from playing with any team other than the Jets.

Explanation:

Ralph has a valid contract with the jets and so his actions as regards signing a contract with the Giants is a breach of contract with the Jets as he has an ongoing contract with them. If there was a termination of the contract with the jets prior to his signing a contract with the Giants, it wouldnt be considered breach of contract. However this is the case and the court would likely rule in Jets favour here and prohibit Ralph from playing with any other team including the Giants.
