He is still under contract with the Packers, even though he retired, so no other teams can contact him. Its a fine line, but the 49ers got nailed for something similar last year with Lance Briggs FanHouse. Since they have the smoking gun of all those phone calls, I would expect Sheriff Goddell to lay down the law in this case as well.
