With all this going on around the league, with current and retired players calling for their team to sign him. How bad does that hurt us? Obviously at this point he as well as his agent know the market is high on him. The likelihood of us keeping everyone together was slim. But now I think it’s a forgone conclusion there is no way Tee is here long term.
Is it allowed for current players to advocate for the signing of another player under contract?
I tried to figure this out by looking up the NFL's anti-tampering policy. I saw this clause: "No club, nor any person employed by or otherwise affiliated with a club, is permitted to tamper with a player who is under contract to or whose exclusive negotiating rights are held by another club."
It would seem to me that players on one team are not permitted to call for their teams to sign Tee.
