There is zero chance that contracts will be allowed to expire July 1 if teams are still playing. The owners and union would agree to a modification.
Also, a player jumping to a new team in the middle of the playoffs as a UFA is a complete and total impossibility, even if they did become FAs on July 1 regardless. They would be ineligible to play.
