illegal contact off the field
Six NFL agents, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told PFW that teams were contacting them in regard to their undrafted free-agent clients after the draft, a violation of NFL lockout rules. One of the players contacted named the teams that contacted him. The best response...... Bengals public relations director Jack Brennan said the team is "puzzled by the report" and is unaware of any coach or scout calling Barnes after the draft. A team source thought it would be unlikely that the Bengals would contact Barnes to sign as a free agent because they did not have a high enough draft grade on him to warrant it.
