There is nothing in contract law that prevents us from talking to him and there is no buyout. TB can sue under a tort theory of intentional interference with contract. It will not fly but they could cause some litigation fees it is arguable i.e. it would atleast make it to MSJs that is motions for summary judgment. Gruden might be liable for any damages his loses caused that would all be too speculative and not really a worry. The UT clause talk just makes it cleaner it removes any headaches TB could cause in a court of law. There was not much they could do in the first place. The only issue is does he want the job if so we pay no buyout and it happens TB can chase there tail if they like it will not matter in the end.
