“Do not contact” means he already knows where he’s going.

Can't blame him as he wants to check out all $$$$ options vs pro offer. Wouldn't happen if he didn't enter the portal.

I can blame him for not throwing strikes. That's why he's in this situation in the 1st place.

Or he's very satisfied with his new payout and is required to do so under the terms of his new agreement.
