If the contract allows for a team member to change the team it should be possible subject to any penalty clauses that may be specified in the contract.
The representative elected as a Democratic party candidate should not be allowed to join the Republican party. If he wants to he should be allowed to surrender his seat and get re-elected as a Republican party candidate.
A representative elected as an independent candidate should be able to join any party if he wishes to.

Two different thing, the politician was elected and your football player was contract to play.
