The rule preventing prospective free agents from talking with teams means the Texans handed Brock Osweiler the keys to their franchise pretty much sight unseen. A slight tweak—creating a free-agent visiting period—is an easy, and sensible, fix
Last time I checked, they had this and it was called "legal tampering period".

edit: I stand corrected. Apparently visiting other teams is expressly prohibited.
